Stator Shape Design Method for Improving Power Density in PM Motor

In this paper, we propose a stator shape design method for improving power density in a small permanent magnet motor. In order to calculate iron loss correctly, we analyze a motor by using 2-D finite element method (FEM) in which an E&S model is introduced. Moreover, external circuit equations are solved coupled with equations in electromagnetic field by FEM to calculate copper loss correctly. It is possible to calculate power density correctly by evaluating loss and weight of a motor correctly whether stator shape is changed. As a result, we show that our analysis technique is useful as a shape design method of a motor's stator for improving power density.
