Permanent Magnet Machine Optimization

by using FEM and Sensitivity Analysis Techniques

  • Chapter
Optimization and Inverse Problems in Electromagnetism

Abstract

The paper presents electrical machine design considerations introduced by exploiting new magnetic material characteristics. The materials considered are amorphous alloy ribbons as well as Neodymium alloy permanent magnets involving very low eddy current losses. Such materials enable electric machine operation at higher frequencies compared with the standard iron laminations used in the traditional magnetic circuit construction and provide better efficiency.
