Abstract
In this article, a new controllable leakage flux multilayer barrier permanent magnet (PM) motor is proposed by adopting a new design concept of controllable leakage flux, where the PMs are uniquely placed in the d-axis magnetic circuit of the synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM). Compared to the conventional q-axis PM placement SynRM, the higher PM utilization and better flux-weakening capability can be obtained. For further comparison and verification, both of the controllable leakage flux multilayer barrier PM motor and the motor with traditional q-axis PM setting are designed. In addition, a multiobjective optimization method based on the correlation analysis method is proposed to obtain the optimized output torque and flux-weakening performances. Then, the performances of the two optimal motors are analyzed and compared in detail. Finally, two prototype motors are manufactured and tested. Both the theoretical and experimental analyses verify the effectiveness of the flux-weakening enhancement design and the proposed motor.
