Abstract

Due to the price uncertainty of rare-earth PM materials and limited availability around the globe, it is required to think about new electric motor candidate for automotive industries. According to the literature survey, it is observed that PMBLDC is the widely used in automotive industry for low power applications. There are some noticeable limitations reported with this motor such as high cost of PM, demagnetization, and complex control. Based on the comparative analysis of three motors, i.e., Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM), Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), and PM-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMASynRM) through Finite Element Method (FEM) for the same design parameters, it is concluded the proposed alternative is a PMASynRM. As per the research gap findings, authors have designed the PMASynRM for low-power EV applications with novel rotor geometry. The simulation results of FE analysis validate the proposed motor design for the various performance parameters.
