Description
Summary:In this paper, an outer rotor interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) with hybrid permanent magnet (PM) material is proposed. The key is to adopt the outer rotor structure with two-layer crescent barriers and hybrid PM material to maximize the output torque and reduce the usage of high-cost rare-earth PM. The ferrite PMs are filled in the middle of the crescent barriers with thicker thickness, while the rare-earth PMs are filled into the bilateral of the crescent barriers with thinner thickness. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed rotor structure, optimizations are first carried out among the conventional rotor structures with single kind of PM material and the proposed rotor structure with hybrid PMs. Then, detailed comparisons have been investigated. Results indicate that the proposed machine has higher torque density than the machine with only ferrite PM and can reduce almost half the usage of rare-earth PM in comparison to the machine with only rare-earth PM. Moreover, the proposed rotor structure is further optimized considering productivity.
