Modeling and Analysis of Quasi-3D Equivalent Magnetic Network of Direct-Drive Inner Boost Permanent Magnet Motor by Jiacheng Wu, Shuai Wang, Yan Hu, Bingyi Zhang, Xuefeng Xu

“…First, the topological structure and inner stator start-stop control method of the IBPMM are introduced. Then, aiming at the problem that finite element model (FEM) is difficult to analyze the variation law of the outer stator torque when the rotor yoke is saturated caused by the high inner stator current, a new quasi-3D equivalent magnetic network (EMN) model with invariable air-gap permeance and accounting for saturation and flux leakage is proposed by using superposition method. …”
