Electromagnetic Characterization of Magnetic Bar: Case of Square Cross-Section Shape

This paper presents a complete two-dimensional theoretical model for the electromagnetic behavior of square-section solid magnetic bars under sinusoidal loading. Through the application of Maxwell's equations within a Cartesian coordinate system and the integration of complex permeability, exact mathematical expressions are derived for mutual impedance, internal magnetic fields, flux, and core losses. Hyperbolic functions are utilized to separate the variables, enabling the accurate representation of edge flux accumulation and the 2D skin effect. In addition to mathematically decoupling eddy current and hysteresis losses, this formulation yields a new apparent permeability parameter. This parameter establishes a fast, reliable method for magnetic steel characterization that bypasses the extensive processing times associated with Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Numerical results over 1 Hz-1 MHz show the apparent relative permeability decreasing from 500 to 300 and a characteristic resistance peak near 700 kHz, marking the transition from volumetric to surface-dominated loss regimes.

A Novel Multi-Criteria Local Latin Hypercube Refinement System for Commutation Angle Improvement in IPMSMs

The commutation angle is defined as the angle between the fundamental of the motor phase current and the fundamental of the back-EMF. It can be utilised to provide a compensating effect in IPMSMs. This is due to the reluctance torque component being dependent on the commutation angle of the phase current even before entering the extended speed range. A real-time maximum torque per current and voltage strategy is demonstrated to find the trajectory and optimum commutation angles, gamma, where the level of accuracy depends on the application and available computational speed. A magnet volume reduction using a novel multi-criteria local Latin hypercube refinement (MLHR) sampling system is also presented to improve the optimisation process. The proposed new technique minimises the magnet mass to motor torque density whilst maintaining a similar phase current level. A mapping of gamma allows the determination of the optimum angles, as shown in this paper. The 3rd generation Toyota Prius IPMSM is considered as the reference motor, where the rotor configuration is altered to allow for an individual assessment.
