Abstract

This study introduces an asymmetric V-shaped interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (AVIPMSM) by modifying the conventional flux barrier of a V-shaped interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (VIPMSM) including optimization-based finite element analysis (FEA). Nowadays usage of VIPMSM is increasing where higher torque density with high efficiency by decreasing the torque ripple factor is required. To improve these properties, flux barriers are modified in VIPMSM by applying optimization methods. For each pole of VIPMSM, modification has been depleted based on symmetric and asymmetric barriers. It introduces the magnetic field shifting effect in the motor. After deciding the flux barrier in the rotor, an optimized method is applied for achieving the proper dimensions of each barrier to estimate the maximum torque and other performances of the motor. Here, a 24/4 pole VIPMSM is considered for design and analysis. ANSYS Maxwell platform is chosen for performance analysis of motor. In addition to using the inbuilt minimum function optimization techniques of ANSYS, genetic algorithm (GA)/particle swarm optimization (PSO) in MATLAB is applied in the proposal to optimize the flux barriers of the motor. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, FEA is adopted by taking into account optimized parameters. The paper also investigates the effect of flux barriers on loss factors to improve the motor efficiency. A comparative study with the benchmark VIPMSM is presented to validate the designed AVIPMSM using optimization and its results are reported. Eventually, the FEA result proves that PSO optimized model is more appropriate for the case understudies.
