The objective of this thesis is to provide the systematic design procedure for a high-speed PM motor with portable sizes, along with the detailed mathematical model developments and the thorough operational analysis. The entire scheme is realized by first following an available design reference to estimate the desired machine physical structures. Then, based on the related field theory, recoil line characteristics of permanent magnets, and the magnetic equivalent circuit method, the system mathematical model can be devised. Finally, the system operational behaviors can be investigated by the devised analytical models, and their accuracies will also be confirmed by the reference design tool. It is believed that the proposed design and verification scheme can provide a valuable and reasonable guidance for the related industry application.

This thesis deals with the integral motor of tomorrow, and particularly with a variable speed, sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor with an integrated converter. The rated power is 15 kW at 1500 r/min. The outer dimensions are approximately the same as for the equivalent standard induction motor. Control strategies for pumps and fans, i.e. suitable loads for variable speed motors, are briefly described. The huge energy savings that can be made by reducing the speed instead of throttling/choking the flow are pointed out. Compared to installing an induction motor with a separate converter, a PM integral motor will probably pay-off in less than a year. A totally analytical expression for calculating the airgap flux density of permanent magnet motors with buried magnets is derived. The analytical expression includes axial leakage, and iron saturation of the most narrow part of the magnetic circuit of the machine. A computer program for optimization of PM motors with buried magnets has been developed. It was used to design the manufactured prototype PM integral motor, and the parameters are investigated with analytical and/or FEM calculations. The optimization program is also used to suggest nearoptimum pole numbers for desired powers (4-37 kW) and speeds (750- 3000 r/min) of inverter-fed PM motors. Results show that compact buried PM motors should have relatively large airgaps and high NdFeB-magnet masses to improve the efficiency. Ferrite magnets are unsuitable. Measurements on the manufactured PM motor, the novel concept of stator integrated filter coils, and the complete PM integral motor are presented. Special attention was given to temperature and overall efficiency measurements. The rotor cage losses were investigated by time-stepping FEM. Four short circuit fault conditions were also examined in order to evaluate the risks of demagnetization of the buried magnets.

This master thesis focuses on the estimation of losses in windings of a high-speed PermanentMagnet (PM) motor. The PM motor studied in this thesis is applied to a nut-runner systemwith specic characteristics such as operating at a high speed (30000 rpm), relatively smallsize and being slot-less. Previously published analytical models for calculation the losses inwindings are discussed in the literature study along with related background theory. Finiteelement method (FEM) 2D is applied in the simulations using FLUX v12. Simulations beginwith several conductors and bundles. Meanwhile, the analytical estimation of those caseswas carried out. The comparisons between results from both sources are discussed. Beforefurther investigations, the way of connection of bundles and conductors and the applicationof symmetrical conditions for following simulations are discussed. Furthermore, the wholewindings with a iron ring and the rotor are simulated step by step in FLUX. Eect of ironmaterial, lamination thickness and base value are investigated. Finally, losses in windingswith various situations are calculated and compared at 10 kHz and 20 kHz. / Detta examensarbete behandlar uppskattning av forluster i lindningarna hos en permanentmagnet(PM) hoghastighets-motor.

This master thesis deals with the estimation of magnet losses in a Permanent Magnet(PM) motor inserted in a nut-runner. This type of machine has interesting featuressuch as being slot-less and running at a very high speed (30000 rpm). An extensiveliterature review was performed in order to investigate the state of the art in estimationof the losses in magnets of a PM machine. Analytical models to calculate the no-loadback-emf and the magnetic ux density in the air-gap due to the currents in the statorare presented rst. Furthermore, several of the analytical models for calculating lossesin magnets described in the literature were tested and adapted to the case of a slotlessmachine with a parallel-magnetized ring. Then, a numerical estimation of thelosses with nite element method (FEM) 2D was carried out. In addition, a detailedinvestigation of the eect of simulation settings (e.g., mesh size, time-step, remanentmagnetic ux density in the magnet, superposition of the losses, etc.) was performed.Finally, calculation of losses with 3D FEM are also included in order to compare thecalculated losses with both analytical and FEM 2D results. The estimation of thelosses includes the variation of these with frequency for a range of frequencies between10 and 100 kHz. / Detta examensarbete handlar om uppskattningen av magnetforluster i en permanentmagnetmotor (PM) inford i en mutterdragare.
