Abstract
Analytical models show weakness in dealing with saturation in surface-mounted permanent-magnet machines. A hybrid field model (HFM) integrating complex permeance method (CPM) and lumped parameter magnetic circuit model (LPMCM) is proposed in this paper for predicting the on-load magnetic field considering nonlinearity effect of stator lamination. In the proposed model, the CPM calculates the field in the air gap and magnet regions, while LPMCM calculates the magnetic potential distribution inside the iron reflecting nonlinearity effect. The equivalent current sheet is obtained to replace such distribution on the stator bore. Moreover, local magnetic saturation of tooth tip is also transformed into equivalent current on the tooth surface. A solving procedure is proposed to calculate the equivalent current and guarantee the convergence. Compared with CPM, the proposed model considering the saturation effect significantly improves the prediction accuracy of the on-load performance. The HFM predictions are compared with finite element and experimental results. The excellent agreement validates its effectiveness.
