Study on the influence of dual-winding optimization design on the torque and suspension performance of bearingless motor

Abstract

Abstract The bearingless motor with dual-winding embedded in the stator can not only produce electromagnetic torque and can also produce suspension force to support the rotor suspension, and the design of the dual-winding will directly affect the torque and suspension performance of the motor. It is a complex problem of multi-objective optimization, multi-performance coupling, and multi-parameter collaborative optimization, which is great significance to improve the comprehensive performance of the motor. Firstly, in order to solve the problem of slot space ratio and turns design of dual-winding under the restriction of stator slot space and thermal loading, the calculation formulas of the electromagnetic torque and the suspension force are derived. The influence of dual-winding design on electromagnetic loading, thermal loading, torque and suspension performance are analyzed. The linear variation of electromagnetic torque with the slot space ratio of torque winding is obtained, and the influence of the dual-winding magnetic motive force on suspension force is clarified. Secondly, in order to obtain the dual-winding design scheme with the optimal torque and suspension performance, the performance parameters of the motor are calculated by finite element method and the influence of the slot space ratios of the torque winding on the torque and suspension performance is analyzed. Based on the coupling analysis of the electromagnetic torque and the suspension force in the case of different thermal loading distributions of dual-winding, the dual-winding optimal design of the bearingless motors is given. Finally, the suspension force of a prototype is tested by experiment.
