摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for controlling permanent magnet machines under varying loads. The method comprises generating a d-axis voltage command and a q-axis voltage command, producing a modified d-axis current command based on the q-axis voltage command and a d-axis current command, converting the modified d-axis current command to a modified d-axis voltage command, and transmitting the modified d-axis voltage command and the q-axis voltage command to the PM machine. The d-axis voltage command is based on a d-axis current command.

An inverter for use in a switched reluctance (SR) motor drive is provided. The inverter comprises a first and second transistor for selectively providing current to an SR motor winding. A resonant-type snubber circuit is connected to the transistors to reduce turn-off loss. The snubber circuit includes a pair of diodes, a capacitor, and an inductor. The snubber circuit is reset during switch-on time of the transistors. At transistor turn-off time, the snubber circuit uses the capacitor to effectively limit the rate of change of voltage across the transistors. This allows the transistors to turn off with lower losses, and can also reduce the acoustical noise generated by the motor drive.

An interior permanent magnet machine includes a rotor formed with a plurality of slots that are substantially arc-shaped and referred to herein as arc segments. A first layer of arc segments are disposed in a first pole. The first layer defines a first configuration relative to a first arc center. A second layer of arc segments are disposed in a second pole. The second layer defines a second configuration relative to a second arc center. The rotor is configured such that the first configuration is different from the second configuration, thereby exhibiting pole-to-pole asymmetry. The first configuration is sufficiently different from the second configuration such that torque ripple may be minimized. In one embodiment, the first layer includes first, second and third arc segments. The rotor may be configured such that the second arc segment is radially offset relative to the first and third arc segments.

A rotor core for an Internal Permanent Magnet (IPM) machine includes a cavity having a magnet disposed therein. The cavity defines an air slot adjacent a radially outermost edge of the magnet disposed therein. A leakage flux path extends across the air slot and connects opposing sides of the cavity. The leakage flux path is oriented in an approximate tangential relationship relative to an axis of rotation of the rotor core, and is angled relative to the radially outermost edge of the magnet disposed within the cavity to direct flux away from the magnet. The cavity further includes an air pocket disposed along a radial inner surface of the magnet relative to the axis of rotation, adjacent the air slot of the cavity.

A permanent magnet machine is provided with a rotor positioned at least partially within a stator. The rotor includes first and second ring segments oriented axially around a central axis. The rotor defines first and second configurations in the first and second ring segments, respectively. The first configuration is sufficiently different from the second configuration such that torque ripple may be minimized. A first layer of slots, defining a slot outer edge, may be formed in the rotor. In one embodiment, a stator-to-slot gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a stator-rotor gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a bridge thickness varies between the first and second ring segments. Thus the rotor exhibits axial asymmetry.

Methods are provided for forming/inserting a magnet in a rotor. One method includes coating a plurality of magnetizable particles with a non-metallic material, inserting the coated particles in a rotor, and magnetizing the coated particles. Another method includes inserting a plurality of magnetizable particles into a rotor, submersing the rotor in motor varnish or another viscous, non-metallic material to coat the particles, and magnetizing the particles. Yet another method includes inserting a plurality of magnetizable particles in a rotor, inserting a non-metallic material into the rotor, mixing the particles and non-metallic material to form a mixture, curing the mixture to coat each particle with non-metallic material, and magnetizing the particles. Still another method includes mixing a plurality of magnetizable particles with a non-metallic material, curing the non-metallic material to coat each particle with non-metallic material, inserting the coated particles in a rotor, and magnetizing the coated particles.
