    Abstract: An interior permanent magnet electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor features a rotor core with slots extending between its opposite ends. These slots contain a segmented magnet assembly, which includes magnet segments of different magnetic materials. The segmented magnet assembly may be divided radially, axially, circumferentially or combinations thereof and may include outer magnet segments made of the first magnetic material and inner magnet segments made of the second magnetic material. Additionally, the segmented magnet assembly includes magnetic poles that are aligned in radial, axial, or circumferential directions.

    Abstract: A propulsion system for a device includes an electric motor configured to generate torque to propel the device. A controller is in communication with the electric motor and is adapted to select at least one harmonic order for a harmonic current command. The controller is adapted to define a plurality of operating regions, including a first operating region, a second operating region and a third operating region, each associated with a respective objective function for generating the harmonic current command. The controller is adapted to operate the harmonic current command with four degrees of freedom by selectively varying a q-axis current magnitude, a d-axis current magnitude, a q-axis phase and a d-axis phase as a function of the torque and a motor speed.

    Abstract: A motor control system includes: a voltage command module configured to determine a target d-axis voltage for an electric motor and a target q-axis voltage for the electric motor; a target frequency module configured to: selectively set a target switching frequency to a first predetermined switching frequency; and selectively set the target switching frequency to a second predetermined switching frequency that is at least 2 kilohertz (kHz) greater than the first predetermined switching frequency; and a switching module configured to: based on the target d-axis voltage and the target q-axis voltage, determine target pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycles for phases, respectively, of the electric motor; and switch switches of legs of an inverter module connected to the phases of the electric motor at the target PWM duty cycles, respectively, and the target switching frequency.
