S. Henneberger et al., COMPUTATION OF A HIGHLY SATURATED PERMANENT-MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR FOR A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(5), 1997, pp. 4086-4088
In the framework of the development of a drive system for the implemen
tation in a hybrid electric vehicle, a 45 kW 6-pole permanent magnet s
ynchronous motor (PMSM) is designed. Due to the rotor design with inse
t permanent magnets the machine parameters are dependant on the operat
ing point due to saturation effects, numerical computations using the
finite element method (FEM) are performed to build up a lumped paramet
er model of the machine.
