Effect of Permanent Magnet Structure on The Performance of LSPMSM with a Power of 22 kW and 3000 rpm

Abstract

Abstract Energy efficiency and sustainability are important goals for countries all over the world. With the advancement of material technology, many new generations of high-efficiency motors are being researched and developed to replace induction motors (IM) to save energy. Line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSM) are high-performance and ultra-high-performance motors that are emerging as an alternative to squirrel-rotor induction motors. Constructing the permanent magnets in the rotor is critically important in ensuring LSPMSM performance. The study uses the finite element method to analyze the characteristics of the motor. The study presented the influence of the permanent magnet structure in the rotor of the LSPMSM with a power of 22 kW and a speed of 3000 rpm on the electromagnetic field distribution in the motor, as well as the motor’s working characteristics to optimize the permanent magnet structure to optimize the performance of the LSPMSM. The analysis results show that the proposed LSPMSM has a 92.6% higher efficiency than the same-type induction motor. This is a suitable replacement for high-power and high-speed IM, which contributes to energy efficiency, so using fewer fossil fuels to reduce environmental impact is a sustainable development solution.
