Performance analysis and comparison of PM-Assisted synchronous reluctance motor with ferrites and Rare-earth magnet materials

The paper aims to provide appropriate design methodology for chosen suitable permanent magnet mate-rial to be applied in manufacturing the Permanent Magnet (PM) assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMASyRM). Another purpose is to reduce the use of rare earth magnets in motor design and increase the use of ferrite magnets to achieve the best performance of the motor. The performance analysis of the motor is discussed with different PM materials volume or quantity. The tradeoff design is presented to achieve the best performance parameter i.e. high torque, efficiency, and low torque ripple. The effect of a combination of different PM materials on the performance parameters of the motor is analyzed. Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
