Abstract
In this article, we developed an improved hybrid field model (IHFM) to predict the on-load performance of the interior permanent-magnet (IPM) motors considering both iron saturation and slotting effect. It combines the airgap analytical model based on the modified conformal mapping with the reluctance mesh method for stator and rotor. The reluctance mesh method can accurately predict the rotor saturation and tooth-tip saturation even their field distribution is complicated due to the armature reaction. Besides, IHFM will significantly accelerate computation speed using the analytical model for airgap region while keeping high accuracy. The finite-element analysis and experimental results of the flat-type and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">V</i> -type IPM motors are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
