Abstract
A new method for fast calculating the permanent magnet (PM) eddy current losses (ECLs) in interior PM synchronous machine caused by the high-frequency harmonic voltages (HFHVs) under pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltage source inverter supply is proposed, by which time-consuming transient finite element analysis (FEA) is eliminated and the influence of the axial segmentation on the PM ECLs can be taken into consideration. The combination of the fixed differential permeability method and the linear frequency FEA is proposed to investigate the relationship between arbitrary HFHV and the corresponding PM ECL at different load conditions. The analytical model proposed in the previous published paper is used to describe this relationship quantitatively. Finally, the total PM ECLs at different load conditions can be calculated based on the fast Fourier transform results of the input PWM voltages. The relative errors between the total losses obtained with the proposed method and those with time-stepping FEA are within 21% at four typical load conditions, and the proposed method can reduce the computation time for one load condition to few minutes considering arbitrary PM axial segmentation.
