Evaluation of an efficiency-optimized calculation of PM synchronous machines' operating range using time-saving numerical and analytical coupling
Abstract
In this paper, a new method for an accurate and also time-saving calculation of permanent magnet synchronous machines is presented. The method is based on a coupled numerical-analytical approach. The aim is to determine efficiency optimized torque-speed characteristics of the drive system. The novel approach considers all kinds of losses, such as switching and conduction losses of the inverter, copper losses, friction losses as well as saturation-dependent hysteresis and eddy current losses of the electrical machine. The presented approach is verified by measurements of a high-torque wheel hub drive.
