Abstract
In this paper, an analytical model is developed for surface mounted permanent magnet (SMPM) machines with skewed slots via the subdomain technique and the multislice method. It takes the nonuniform distribution of flux density along the axial direction caused by slot skewing into account and can be used to obtain air-gap flux density distribution in the 3-D space. The cogging torque, flux linkage, back electromotive force (EMF), and output torque are calculated with the obtained air-gap flux density. The results calculated by the analytical model are validated by the 3-D finite element analysis. The convergence and computation time of the analytical model are investigated, and good convergence and fast calculation speed can be achieved. Based on the developed analytical model, the effects of slot skewing angle and pole arc on back EMF and output torque are researched. The analytical model can be applied to the fast optimal design and performance analysis of SMPM machines with skewed slots.
