Description
Summary:This work focuses on small bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motors (BPMSMs). In order to enhance its torque control stiffness and improve the stability of its torque and magnetic levitation force dynamic waveforms, a novel six-phase distributed single-winding BPMSM with 12 slots and 2 poles (six-phase DSW-12/2-BPMSM) is proposed and researched in this work. First, the structure and working principle of the six-phase DSW-12/2-BPMSM are analyzed. Subsequently, considering the relative permeability of permanent magnets, mathematical models of the inductance matrix, electromagnetic torque and radial magnetic levitation force are established. Then, using the finite element method (FEM), the control characteristics of the electromagnetic torque and magnetic levitation force of the six-phase DSW-12/2-BPMSM are analyzed, and the mathematical model is verified. Finally, FEM simulation analysis and comparisons are conducted with a commonly used six-phase centralized single-winding BPMSM with 6 slots and 2 poles (six-phase CSW-6/2-BPMSM). The research results show that the established mathematical model is effective and accurate compared with the six-phase CSW-6/2-BPMSM. The six-phase DSW-12/2-BPMSM has greater torque control stiffness, its dynamic waveforms of torque and radial magnetic levitation force have higher quality and stability, and the coupling degree between its torque and radial magnetic levitation force is lower.
