Abstract

With more stringent IEC energy efficiency standards, electrical machine industry increasingly focuses on new motor technologies. Amongst others, the line-start permanent magnet synchronous machine (LSPMSM) is considered as an attractive alternative to induction machine, especially for low power and fixed-speed applications. However, the design of LSPMSMs is rather complex as both steady-state and transient synchronization performances need to be considered. The synchronization capability determination of a LSPMSM design usually relies on time-consuming transient finite-element simulations, which is impractical for use in an iterative design optimization process. This paper compares and evaluates various existing analytical synchronization analysis methods in an attempt to identify most suitable equations and methods for fast synchronization analysis. Using the selected methods, a software tool is developed that can seamlessly work with ANSYS Electronics Desktop to perform rapid transient synchronization analysis. Given its ability to quickly determine the critical inertia factor of a LSPMSM design, the software tool is further adapted for use in a highly iterative, multi-objective design optimization procedure. It shows that the developed software tool can be successfully used in the design of LSPMSMs.
