Abstract

As rare-earth permanent magnet prices continue to fluctuate, interest in non-rare-earth permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motors (PMa-SynRMs) is increasing. However, non-rare-earth PMa-SynRMs have a multi-layer structure with interior permanent magnets to compensate for the low magnetic fields. Therefore, the rotor has several design parameters, and electromagnetic analysis is time-consuming. To overcome these challenges, magnetic equivalent circuit analysis was used to perform fast electromagnetic analysis of non-rare-earth PMa-SynRMs. In addition, the validity of the proposed method was confirmed through a comparison of the obtained results with those of finite element analysis.
