Abstract
Integrated battery charging (IBC)—multiplexing the motor windings as line inductors for charging electric vehicle battery packs—can improve the onboard charging capability without increasing the weight and cost. However, during the charging operation, currents flowing in the stator winding definitely generate a magnetic field, which may demagnetize the permanent magnets (PMs) in the PM traction motors. In this paper, the demagnetization effects of IBC current on magnets in interior PM machines are compressively investigated. In this paper, a recursive algorithm to update the PM magnetization states by using a parallelogram hysteresis model at different demagnetization levels is applied. The PM temperature is also considered for establishing this model. By coupling this algorithm to the finite element analysis, the demagnetization transit at different demagnetization levels can be assessed. By decomposing the flux density of each node within the magnets along its magnetization direction, irreversible demagnetization can be accurately evaluated. Impacts from both the pulsating and rotating demagnetization magnetic fields during the IBC operation are assessed and compared.
