Abstract

This paper analyzes the harmonic characteristics of electromagnetic force (EMF) in Brushless Alternating Current (BLAC) motor for High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fan application. Vibration and noise are one of the main crucial things in HVLS fan application. It comes from torque ripples which can be detected by harmonics of Electro Magnetic Force (EMF). Commonly, there are a few methods to eliminate the noise and vibrations issue, but most literatures only focus on small motor and not intended for HVLS fan application. Thus, the objective of this paper is to eliminate the harmonics content in EMF at early stage design. Through EMF harmonics the expected torque produced could be used to select proper slot-pole number in order to eliminate the noise and vibrations issue. In here, the analysis involves three different slot-pole numbers which are 18s/20p, 12s/10p and 9s/8p BLAC model, respectively. All models have similar volume of permanent magnet. The analysis is carried out using FLUX 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for EMF computational and transient torque computation. Later, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis is used to calculate the harmonics of EMF. The analysis stage includes the EMF parameter analysis, harmonics and torque ripples analysis. It was found that 18s/20p has higher output torque with the lowest 5% torque ripple value. As a conclusion, this paper presents low torque ripple in point of view of the EMF characteristics in designing HVLS fan.

Abstract

This paper presents a design and development of 8/6 switched reluctance motor for small electric vehicle using analytical method. The absent of permanent magnet, inherent fault tolerance capabilities, simple and robust construction make this motor become more attractive for small electric vehicle application such as electric scooter and go-kart. The switched reluctance motor is modelled using analytical formula in designing process. Later, the designed model is analyzed using ANSYS RMxprt software. In order to achieve 5kW power rating and to match with the design requirement, the switched reluctance motor model has been analyzed using RMxprt tools for the preliminary parameters design process. This tools is able to predict the output performance of motor in term of speed, flux linkage characteristic, output torque and efficiency.

Abstract

This research analyses the noise and vibration characteristics of permanent magnet motors (PMM) with the electromagnetic characteristics, with an emphasis on high-speed motor segmented closed slot stator. The interaction between the stator, rotor, and magnets can cause a vibration that results in the loud sound due to the high magnetic energy. Even if there aren't many vibrations to contend with, the fluctuation of motor vibrations causes more serious harm. The studies covered slotted stator, closed slot stator, and segmented with closed slot stator. The objective is to analyze the cogging torque relation towards vibration and the effect of natural frequency at steady-state behavior of the structure. ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) is used to generate electromagnetic analysis performance whilst ANSYS mechanical used to simulate the modal and harmonic analysis at the stator tooth tips surface to define the structure when the steady-state condition under vibrational stimulation. Anticipation on this work shows, the lowest cogging torque produce less radiated sound. Thus, the result indicates the cogging torque profiles had good agreement with the equivalent radiated power level (ERPL) waterfall diagram.
