Abstract
This paper proposes a new V-shaped permanent magnet vernier (V-PMV) motor for potential applications in direct-drive system. By utilizing the V-shaped PM topology and suitable pole–slot ratio, not only the flux leakage can be reduced effectively which is inevitable in traditional surface-mounted and spoke-type vernier permanent magnet (VPM) motor, but also the utilization of air-gap magnetic field harmonics can be improved. Moreover, dummy slots are employed on the inner edge of rotor, so that the torque ripple can be reduced. To fairly estimate electromagnetic performances of the proposed V-PMV motor, an existing flux-concentrating VPM motor is selected purposely and designed with the same size for comparative analysis by using the finite-element method. The simulation results indicate that the V-PMV motor can offer the advantages of high PM utilization, and low cogging torque and torque ripple.
