Characteristic analysis & optimum design of Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor for premium efficiency performance

This study deals with the characteristics analysis and optimum design of Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMASynRM) using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The focus of this paper is finding of optimum design solutions due to the characteristics analysis of d, q axis inductance according to the size and magnetizing quantity of interior permanent magnet for PMASynRM. Investigation on nonlinear characteristic of machine is performed by Preisach's theory application. The proposed optimum design procedure (RSM) & characteristics analysis allow to define the rotor geometric dimensions performed premium efficiency starting from an existing motor or a preliminary design.
