Design and Optimization of a Novel Asymmetric Hybrid-Pole Permanent Magnet Machine for Electric Vehicles
摘要
This paper presents a novel asymmetric hybrid-pole permanent magnet (AHPM) machine, wherein the rotor integrates consequent-pole and V-shaped interior permanent magnet (VIPM) rotors. The AHPM machine employs the magnetic-field-shifting (MFS) effect to enhance torque performance, achieving optimal utilization of both PM and reluctance torque concurrently. Additionally, a general pattern for the AHPM machine is proposed to encompass all potential configurations. By adjusting the structural parameters of the general pattern, it becomes effortless to achieve either an asymmetric flux barrier configuration, an asymmetric PM configuration, or both. The final AHPM structure is determined through the utilization of a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) in conjunction with finite element analysis (FEA), facilitating a fully automated process. To showcase the effectiveness of the MFS effect, a comparison between the proposed AHPM machine and a conventional machine is conducted. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed APHM machine exhibits superior output torque and reduced torque ripple.
