I. INTRODUCTION&lt;br/&gt;Recently, high-speed electrical machines have attracted much attention in the application of gas compressors [1], which have the advantages of high power density, small volume, small moment of inertia and fast response speed. In addition, the gearbox could be eliminated, because the gas compressor could be directly driven by a high-speed electrical machine. So that the maintenance costs and noise can be reduced [2]. Moreover, compared with the squirrel cage induction machine and the switched reluctance machine, the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) has higher efficiency and has been widely used in high speed applications [3-4]. Therefore, a high speed PMSM, which is rated at 15kW, 120krpm for a gas compressor, has been designed and analyzed in this paper. The performance of the proposed machine is verified by finite element method (FEM). Furthermore, the proposed machine has been optimized to reduce wind friction loss and increase power density.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;II. TOPOLOGY AND OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF THE FRPM MACHINE&lt;br/&gt;According to the design specifications given in the left column of TABLE I, the main dimensions of the machine are designed and listed in the right column of TABLE I. Fig.1 shows the prototype of the proposed machine. The structural strength and thermal constraints are the two main design constraints of high speed PMSM [2]. Therefore, various measures are used to ensure the strength of the rotor and reduce the losses of the proposed machine. Firstly, since the permanent magnet (PM) is weak in tension, a glass fiber sleeve is applied to protect the PM in high speed operation condition. Secondly, silicon steel sheets with a smaller core loss coefficient are used for stator to reduce core loss. Moreover, the toroidal windings are applied for easy installation and reducing the end length of the wire caused by one pole pair design, thereby reducing copper loss. FEM model of the proposed machine is established to obtain the output performances, e.g., output torque, core loss. The air gap computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the proposed machine is established to calculate the wind friction loss of the machine. The results show that the performance of the proposed machine can meet the design specifications, with a wind friction loss of 64.22W, an efficiency of 97.85% and a power density of 6.398kW/kg.&lt;br/&gt;Considering the sensitivity of different parameters to the objective function, the motor optimization is divided into two steps. Considering that the wind friction loss has a significant effect on the temperature rise of the rotor, the slot width &lt;i&gt;b&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt; and the slot height &lt;i&gt;h&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt; are optimized and the reduced wind friction loss is selected as one optimal object function in step 1. The relationship between them is shown in Fig.2. The stator tooth width &lt;i&gt;b&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, stator slot depth &lt;i&gt;h&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; and PM thickness &lt;i&gt;h&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;PM&lt;/sub&gt; are optimized to maximize the power density in step 2. The optimization process of each step is as follows. Firstly, the output characteristics of the proposed machine under different design parameters are obtained as sample data through FEM/CFD. After that, a total of 50 sample data has been taken for analysis and an interpolation model has been established by Kriging interpolation. The interpolation model can be used to obtain the objective function value under different design parameters. Finally, the optimal values of the design parameters are obtained by using genetic algorithm.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;III.

As shown in Fig.3, the wind friction loss of the optimized machine is 57.28W, the power density is 6.865kW/kg. The main output characteristics of the proposed machine and the optimized machine are compared in TABLE II. The maximum relative error between the interpolation model and the CFD/FEM is less than 1.2%, which indicates that the interpolation model is accurate. Compared with the proposed machine, the wind friction loss of the optimized machine is reduced by 9.72%, and the power density is increased by 7.25%. Note that the efficiency of two machines is almost the same, while the efficiency of the optimized machine is 97.84%. Detailed characteristics and comparison results will be discussed in the future full paper.

Recently, new energy electrical vehicles have a great development. To achieve longer driving range and higher acceleration performance at defined battery capacity and driving conditions, there is a demand of high efficiency and high torque-speed characteristics for electrical drive machines [1-2]. One of solutions is to use rectangular conductors, e.g. hair-pin winding. It can enhance the slot filling ratio to simultaneously decrease resistance and increase heat transfer ability. Furthermore, the tooth can be kept enough width and benefits for peak performance. The peak performance in new energy electrical vehicles generally require short duration (10-60 seconds) at each speed within an allowable temperature rise (Depend on the insulation level of winding and starting temperature). However, due to the strong skin effect, the current distribution in conductors become more and more uneven with speed rising. This will bring overheat risks at high speed because the temperature rising rate in short duration is closely related to the copper loss density. In this paper, a new peak torque-speed characteristics estimation method for these machines is proposed. Not only supplied maximal voltage and current limitation are considered, but also the skin effect of conductors and transient thermal issues are investigated. The copper loss density in the last conductor which has severest skin effect can be theoretically kept constant from some speed. Firstly, the supplied maximum voltage (Um) and current (Im) are defined according to the capability of battery and power electronic unit (PEU). The electromagnetic torque (Te), d-axis voltage (Ud), q-axis voltage (Uq) and terminal voltage (Us) are calculated under specified lead angle and current intervals. By scanning all points and based on MTPA and MTPV, the conventional peak torque-speed curve is acquired. Secondly, to apply the temperature rising limitation, an analytical equation on basis of the conductor size, position and frequency is used and the AC resistance of active parts of conductors is calculated [3]. rN/rdc=φ(ξ)+N(N-1)ψ(ξ) rN represents the AC resistance at some speed due to the skin effect and rdc represents the DC resistance. Both are only related to the conductors in stator lamination core. The functions φ(ξ) and ψ(ξ) are related to the frequency and conductor size because ξ is expressed by the ratio of conductor height and skin depth. To keep the highest copper loss density constant with speed rising, the current limitation Im shall be decreased with speed rising according to below question. Im=Ib/√(φ(ξ)+N(N-1)ψ(ξ)) where Ib is the current limitation at the base speed nb. At this base speed, the copper loss density reaches the maximum allowable value. It can be defined through thermal simulation or measurement. N represents the ID of conductors in stator slot which starts counting from slot bottom. φ(ξ)=ξ(sh(2ξ)+sin(2ξ))/(ch(2ξ)-cos(2ξ)) ψ(ξ)=2ξ(sh(ξ)-sin(ξ))/(ch(ξ)+cos(ξ)) In the end, the maximum torque at each speed with similar temperature rising level in short duration will be found out and improved peak torque and power curves are finally outputted. A typical PMSM with 8 poles and 48 slots are investigated. Figure 1 and 2 show the comparison results between the conventional and proposed methods. Based on CFD simulation or measurements, the maximum copper loss density can be defined under specified S2 work condition. The special prototype with 20 thermal couples in the stator is built. The simulated torque-speed curve and measured hotspots are compared. It verifies the good effectiveness of the proposed method.

 Torque-Speed Characteristics Evaluation for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors with Rectangular Conductors

Most mathematical torque models for the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are established based on neglecting the core reluctance. In order to analyze the torque of high power density PMSMs more effectively in the saturated state, this paper has considered the core reluctance in the torque analysis and a novel torque model is proposed to adapt magnetic saturation condition. It is demonstrated by simulation and experiment that the proposed torque model is closer to the actual torque. Index TermsTorque, permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), core reluctance, high power density. I. Introduction Various torque analysis studies have been presented for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). For instance, when the machine is gradually saturated, it is considered with the variation of dq-axis self-inductances depending on operating conditions [1] and the cross-magnetization phenomenon in the electrical machine has been subjected to detailed scrutiny [2]. In order to deal with saturation and cross-saturation, an extension of the d-q model is proposed in [3]. However, those studies have not analyzed the effect of core reluctance on magnet torque. With the saturation level in PMSMs is getting severer, this will cause the magnetic conductivity of the core to decrease rapidly, in this case, the core reluctance cannot be ignored. Although some literatures have analyzed the influence of core reluctance on the magnetic circuit, there is no specific analysis of the influence on magnet torque [4]. This paper has considered the core reluctance on the magnetic circuit and analyzed the influence of the core magnetic motive force (mmf) generated by the core reluctance on the magnet torque, then a novel magnet torque model is proposed to adapt magnetic saturation condition. Finally, the validity of the proposed torque model is verified by experiment and simulation. II. Analysis of Magnet Torque A. Neglecting the Core Reluctance In the conventional analysis of magnet torque, core reluctance can often be made much smaller than that of the air gap, in this case, the reluctance of the core can be neglected, the dominant reluctance is that of the air gap. Therefore, the stator mmf Fs is equal to the air gap mmf Fsg provided by the stator and the rotor mmf Fr is equal to the air gap mmf Frg provided by the rotor. It can be known from the literature [5], the general expression for the magnet torque for the multi-pole non-salient-pole machines could be expressed as Te=-p(μ0πDl/2g)FsFrsinδsr (1) Where μ0 is the permeability of free space, p is the number of pole-pairs and g is the length of the air gap. D is the average diameter of the air gap; l is the axial length of the air gap and δsr is the angle between the mmf of the stator and the rotor. B. Considering the Core Reluctance When the machine is in the saturated state, this will cause the magnetic conductivity of the core to decrease rapidly, the core reluctance should be considered. In this case, the mmf includes the air gap mmf and the core mmf, the expression (1) could be rewritten as Te′=-p(μ0πDl/2g)(Fs-Fst)(Fr-Frt)sinδsr (2) Then, through a series of simplification, (2) could be expressed as Te′=Te(Fgd/(Fgd+Ftd))2 (3) Where Fg is the resultant air gap mmf and Ft is the resultant core mmf. Fgd and Ftd are the d-axis components of the Fg and Ft respectively. Further detailed derivation formula and calculation method will be reported in the full paper. III. Simulation and Experiment In order to verify the analysis, a 350kW high power density interior PMSM is studied as an example. The conventional id=0 control strategy is applied to eliminate the influence of reluctance torque. The air gap magnetic field intensity Hgd and the magnetic field intensity of stator teeth Htd in the d-axis direction are obtained by finite element software. The magnetic field intensity of the machine is illustrated in Fig. 1. Because most of the core mmf is in the stator teeth, the yoke mmf is ignored. Fgd=Hgd*g, Ftd=Htd*lt and lt is the calculated length of the magnetic circuit of the stator teeth. Then a 350kW high power density interior PMSM has been prototyped and tested for validation. As shown in Fig. 2, through comparison, the magnet torque Te obtained by conventional calculation has large error. The magnet torque Te` obtained by the modified torque model is very close to the actual torque and simulation torque, which verifies the validity of the torque analysis proposed in this paper.

 Torque Analysis of High Power Density Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines by Considering Core Reluctance

This paper proposes a rotor design method suitable for double-layer interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (BIPMSM), which can reduce electromagnetic torque ripple and at the same time reduce the electromagnetic noise of the motor. In previous studies, the inverse cosine function (ICF) has been used for torque ripple reduction by making the air gap flux density distribution sinusoidal under a no-load condition. However, ICF can only be used in a single-layer interior rotor structure. Therefore, this article proposes a piecewise inverse cosine function (PICF) based on ICF, which can be applied to BIPMSM. To verify the validity of the proposed design method, the characteristics of 8-pole, 36-slot motors that have different rotor shapes are analyzed using finite element analysis. 1.INTRODUCTION there are a number of advantages of shaping the salient pole shoes of interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines to produce a sinusoidal air-gap flux density distribution [1]. Firstly, the phase electromotive force (EMF) will be more sinusoidal which will reduce the electromagnetic torque ripple from the machine when using sinusoidal phase currents. Secondly, cogging torque will also be reduced. Thirdly, the magnitude of the radial force in the air-gap is proportional to the square of the radial component of the air-gap flux density. Therefore, the radial force space distribution in the air-gap will contain much reduced number of space harmonics which will lower the probability of exciting stator core resonances. All of these aspects will have a positive effect on the noise and vibration behavior of the machine. In [1], the application method of inverse cosine function in single-layer interior permanent magnet synchronous motor is demonstrated in detail. After optimizing the rotor structure through the inverse cosine function, a more sinusoidal air gap flux density can be obtained under no-load conditions. In [2], the author, through finite element analysis, found that ICF can reduce the torque ripple of the motor, but at the same time it can also cause the torque to drop. In this article, PICF makes the air gap magnetic density of BIPMSM more sinusoidal, thereby reducing torque ripple and electromagnetic noise, and improving the performance of the motor. 2.PRINCIPLES OF BICF The traditional ICF can be expressed by the following formula: Bmaxcosθ=μ0Fg/Ig(θ). where Bmax is the maximum value of the air gap flux density，Ig(θ) is the air gap length using，μ0 is the permeability of vacuum and Fg is the air gap magnetic potential by PM. In the traditional ICF, the magnetic potential generated by the permanent magnet can be regarded as a fixed value, but the magnetic potential generated by the permanent magnet in BIPMSM is not a fixed value, as shown in Fig.1. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the magnetic potential in sections according to θ1 and θ2 , so that the air gap flux density generated by each section meets the same sinusoidal distribution. 3.FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION VERIFICATION In order to verify that based on PICF, the rotor structure designed in this paper can reduce the torque ripple and electromagnetic noise of the motor, and the finite element simulation of the designed motor rotor is carried out. It can be seen from Fig.2(a) that after the use of PICF to improve the motor rotor structure, the electromagnetic torque ripple is well suppressed, but the torque amplitude is slightly reduced, which is consistent with the conclusion in [2]. Fig.2(b) shows the two-dimensional Fourier decomposition results of the radial force before and after the optimization. PICF greatly weakens the amplitude of most electromagnetic force components, which will effectively reduce the electromagnetic noise of the motor under different operating conditions. 4.DISCUSSION Through PICF, the torque ripple of BIPMSM can be significantly reduced and the motor control accuracy can be improved. As the air gap distance increases, the electromagnetic torque of the motor will inevitably be reduced. However, PICF can greatly reduce the electromagnetic noise of the motor, and it can effectively attenuate the noise of the motor at different operating speeds.

 Optimized Rotor Shape for Reducing Torque Ripple and Electromagnetic Noise

1. Introduction Ultra-high-speed (UHS) surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) is widely used for driving air compressor [1]. The electromagnetic losses generated by the UHS SPMSM inculde iron loss, copper loss, rotor eddy current loss, and etc. Especially, the UHS SPMSM can be have large stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss due to its high rotational speed [2]. The stator iron loss is related to the magnetic properties of the stator iron core, and the rotor eddy current loss is related to the electrical properties of the rotor sleeve and permanent magnet (PM). In addition, the magnitude of these losses can be influenced by the armature magnetomotive force (MMF), which is the product of the number of turns and current. Accordingly, in order to determine the armature MMF, it is necessary to determine the appropriate number of turns and current magnitude in the motor design process. Since the magnetic flux density of stator iron core is different according to the armature MMF, the nonlinearity of the stator iron core must be considered in the motor design process. The contribution of this research is to propose the kriging surrogate model-based design process of UHS SPMSM considering stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss. In the proposed design process, the nonlinearity of the stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss according to the magnetic saturation is considered through the kriging surrogate model. The kriging surrogate model is suitable for use in electric motor design because it has high predicitive ability for reponses with nonlinear charateristics [3]. For the verification, a prototype is fabricated and the experiments wiil be conducted. 2. Kriging surrogate model-based design process Using the constructed kriging surrogate models, the motor is designed through the motor design process shown in Fig. 1. The kriging surrogate model-based design process is divided into two stages: size determination and loss minimization. In both stages, optimization techniques are applied. First, the optimization problem is defined to minimize the objective function while satisfying the constraints. Next, the design of experiments for the selected design variables is performed, and a kriging surrogate model is created. Finally, the kriging surrogate models are used to determine the optimal model that satisfies the objective function and constraints. As a result, the model designed using the kriging surrogate model improves as follow compared to the model designed using the conventional design methodology: 1.4% reduction in stator outer diameter, 11.8% reduction in stack length, and 6.4% reduction in total losses. A. Size Determination The radial dimension of the rotor is determined in consideration of the mechanical stiffness and air gap magnetic flux density. Optimization technique is applied in the size determination. The objective function is set to minimize the stack length, and the constraints are defined considering the electrical specificatons. The tooth width, yoke thickness, and the number of turns are selected as design variables. Then, the respones to be predicted by the kriging surrogate models are the stator outer diameter, stack length and line to line voltage. When kriging surrogate models are used in the motor design process, the tendency according to design variables and the nonlinearity of the core can be considered. In particular, when the current is the same, the change in the armature MMF according to the number of turns affects the magnetic flux density of the stator core. Since saturation of core is an important parameter in determining the motor size, it is considered by using the kriging surrogate model. B. Loss Minimization In this paragraph, the loss of the motor is minimized by changing the stator shape. The considered losses are iron loss, rotor eddy current loss, alternation current (AC) copper loss, and windage loss. As mentioned in section 2. A, optimization technique is applied to minimize motor losses. UHS SPMSM is designed through the kriging surrogate model for losses because the ratio of the stator core loss and the rotor eddy current loss due to the high rotational speed is large. Another major loss to consider in UHS SPMSMs is AC copper loss. As mentioned in section 1, since the frequency of the input current is large in the UHS SPMSM, the AC copper loss is also large, which is considered through kriging surrogate model. The windage loss generated in the air gap and increases with increasing rotational speed. The windage loss is also considered through the kriging surrogate model. The constraints for motor loss minimization are electrical specifications and target torque. Design variables are selected as tooth tip and slot open. Using the kriging surrogate model, the optimal model is obtained that minimizes motor loss while satisfying the constraints. 3. Result and Conclusion In this paper, a kriging surrogate model-based design process is proposed. Through the process, a motor that satisfies the required motor size and specifications is determined. As a result, the model designed using the kriging surrogate model reduced the stator iron loss by 7.6% and the rotor eddy current loss by 24.9% compared to the model designed using the conventional design methodology. As shown in Fig. 2, a prototype of the designed model is fabricated. Through the test, the validity of the designed model will be verified.

 Kriging Surrogate Model-Based Design of Ultra-High-Speed Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Considering Stator Iron Loss and Rotor Eddy Current Loss

Comparing with the radial flux permanent magnet (RFPM) motor, axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor has higher power density, higher torque density. Especially, if the AFPM motor is designed to work at a high speed, its size will be further reduced, leading to a more compact size and a significant volume saving. In addition, the AFPM motor has a superior cooling structure. The above features will boost the application of the high speed AFPM in many potential fields, such as flywheel energy storage system, man-portable power platforms, turbo-compressors, and machining spindles, and so forth [1-3]. A 3,2000r/min, 200W AFPM generator with a slotless stator core and toroidal coils was reported in literature [4]. Literature [5] designed a single-sided AFPM machine with 100W shaft output power at 50,000r/min, and stator core is slotless and made of powder composite material. Literature [6] developed a 15kW, 25,000 r/min AFPM motor, the stator core is slotted and used amorphous alloy. A 30kW, 16,000 r/min AFPM motor has been developed for the flywheel in which a slotted stator core and distributed winding are applied [7]. A 30kW, 30,000 r/min AFPM generator having 2 stators and 3 rotors was propounded [8]. It can be found that, in low power field such as hundreds of watts, high speed AFPM machines generally apply the slotless stator. Because the stator windings occupy the air gap, which leads to a wider air gap, then the air gap flux density is low, whereupon, the power can not be designed very large. However, for kilowatt power level field, a slotted stator is necessary. Moreover, the power can be further increased by the combination of multi-layer stator and rotor. It is well known that the slotless stator core also can eliminate the cogging torque. However, slotted stator will increase ripple torque. Relative to the AFPM motor with slotless stator, how much the motor power and the torque ripple can increase for the one with the slotted stator. It is an interesting, challenging question. However, rare researches about this are reported. Therefore, first, the paper will solve the electromagnetic field of the AFPM motor analytically. Then, electromagnetic torque will be obtained by Maxwell stress tensor method (MSTM). Thirdly, an example will be carried out for the cases in which both slotless and slotted stators are considered. Finally, results of torque comparison will be given and discussed. The analytical solution is verified by 3D finite element method (FEM) and experiment data.

 Torque Comparison between Slotless and Slotted Ultra-high Speed AFPM Motors

I. Introduction The electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA) are very attractive for the More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) due to its excellent performance such as safety, reliability, weight and cost [1]. Because of the advantages of high torque density, high efficiency, the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) can be used for the EHA [2]. When the PMSM is running at high speed, the torque ripple will cause the vibration and noise of the EHA, and the machine magnetic field will produce a lot of eddy current loss in the rotor [3]. Excessive eddy current loss of permanent magnet will lead to irreversible demagnetization at high temperature. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the torque ripple and rotor eddy current loss of high-speed PMSM for EHA applications. II. Main Body The high-speed PMSM consists of the stator, rotor, and enclosure. The structural diagram of the high-speed PMSM is shown in Fig. 1. The stator has the iron core and three phase windings, and the rotor has the stainless steel retaining sleeve, magnets, and the shaft. The rated power of the high-speed PMSM is 4 kW, and the rated speed is 18000 r/min. Fig. 2 shows the stator core losses and rotor eddy current losses density distribution at different stator slot openings of the high-speed PMSM, where the Bs0 is the width of stator slot openings.. The current I is 15.5 A, and the frequency is 600 Hz. The stator core losses of the closed slot are 118.35 W, Bs0 = 2 mm are 116.54 W. It can be found that the rotor eddy current losses are focus on the retaining sleeve and magnets. The rotor eddy current losses of the closed slot are 2.43 W, Bs0 = 2 mm are 18.64 W. The rotor eddy current losses are the minimum when the stator slot openings selected as the close slot. The cause is the larger the slot opening is, the severer the permeance variation, and the more significant the rotor eddy current losses. The torque waveforms of different stator slot openings are studied. It shows that the average torque of the Bs0 = 2 mm is 2.5 Nm, and the closed slots is 2.494 Nm, which is almost the same. The torque ripple of the Bs0 = 2 mm is 15.38%, the Bs0 = 0 is 6.56%. The torque ripple of the closed slots is almost decreasing 60% than that of the stator slot openings is 2 mm. The EMF waveforms also measured and compared with the FEA, which agrees well with the results of the FEA. The torque ripple are measured by a digital torque meter, the measured results are also agrees well with the results of the FEA. III. Conclusion This paper has analyzed the stator slot openings width for the reduction of torque ripple and rotor eddy current losses in a high-speed PMSM for the electro-hydrostatic actuator applications. It is demonstrated that when the stator slot openings selected as the closed slot, the torque ripple and rotor eddy current losses can be extremely reduced. Finally, the prototype machine with the closed slots is fabricated and experimented.

 Reduction of Torque Ripple and Rotor Eddy Current Losses by Closed Slots Design in a High-speed PMSM for EHA Applications

1 Introduction Compared with ordinary motors, high-speed permanent-magnet synchronous motors (HPMSMs)[1] have obvious advantages [2]. However, under the collective influence of temperature, armature reaction and other factors, a serious temperature rise in the inner components of the motor will cause demagnetization of the permanent magnet [3]. The problems of achieving the global optimization of the motor structure parameters include the selection of a global optimization algorithm and the establishment of a fast calculation model. The bat algorithm [4] is a new heuristic algorithm. Quantum evolutionary computation [5] makes full use of the theory of quantum bits and superposition states in quantum computation. At present, the combination of quantum theory and intelligent algorithms has become a popular research method [6]. The quantum bat algorithm (QBA) [7] introduces the idea of quantum evolutionary computation into the bat algorithm and gives full play to its advantages. This algorithm is a very effective global optimization algorithm. In this paper, a regression modeling method based on a deep neural network (DNN) [8] for HPMSM structure optimization is employed. Through the network structure of the DNN multi hidden layer, the model accuracy is improved by learning the parameters layer by layer, and the calculation model of the HPMSM is established to provide high-precision and high-efficiency model support for global optimization. Based on the QBA with the DNN model, the structure parameters of the HPMSM are optimized to obtain the optimal combination to minimize the loss of the motor. The performance of the optimized HPMSM is verified by finite element simulation analysis and prototype experiments. 2 Quantum Bat Algorithm In the QBA, the probability amplitude of a qubit is directly used as the code of the current position of the bat. Considering the randomness of coding during population initialization, the coding scheme in Fig. 1(a) is adopted. The position of the bat changes according to a quantum revolving gate. Therefore, the update of the bat movement speed in the ordinary bat algorithm (BA) is converted to the update of the quantum revolving gate angle, and the update of the bat position is converted to the update of the qubit probability amplitude for the bat. Suppose that the optimal position searched by the whole population is Pg, then, the bat status update rules are as Fig. 1(b). 3 Deep Neural Network Model The DNN model is composed of multilayer adaptive nonlinear elements [16], and it continuously reduces the model prediction error by learning layer by layer. The structure of the DNN algorithm can be divided into a visual layer and hidden layer. The visual layer includes the input layer and the output layer. Its basic structure is shown in Fig. 1(c). The DNN adopted in this paper is a fully connected neural network, where each layer can be expressed as a weight W multiplied by a vector x and is composed of neurons, and the deviation quantity b is added. 4 Design Optimization of the HPMSM Fig. 1 (d) shows an HPMSM that has 18 slots and 2 inner rotor pole pairs. With the initial main design parameters, which take into account the limitation of the current density of the conductors in the stator slots, the magnitude of the ampere conductors of the total electric loading are obtained based on magnetic circuit computations; they are shown in Fig. 2(a). According to the constraint conditions of the structural parameters, a 5-factor 4-level variable scale is given, as shown in Fig. 2(b), and there are 1024 orthogonal combination modes in total. Since the temperature rise of the HPMSM is directly related to the loss of the motor, the loss under different structural parameters is used to build the sample library. To verify the accuracy of the DNN rapid calculation model established in this paper, sample points are randomly selected in the solution domain. The total loss and the output torque of the test samples simulated by the FEM and DNN model are predicted and compared. The difference between the DNN model and FEM simulation is calculated by η. The accuracy verification of the DNN model is shown in Fig. 2(c). To achieve better overall performance, the HPMSM is optimized through a single-objective problem. The output torque and total loss for different iteration numbers are shown in Fig. 2(d). The final design parameters after optimization are given in Fig. 2(e). When the HPMSM is working at the rated working point, as shown in Fig. 8, in which the rated speed is 100 krpm, and the output torque is 1.026 Nm, the efficiency can reach 96%. Within the speed range of 20 krpm to 120 krpm, the efficiency can be maintained at higher than 93%. 4 Conclusion This paper systematically studies the QBA optimization method combined with a DNN model for the structure optimization problem of HPMSMs. The DNN models for the objective functions of the loss and torque are proven to be accurate enough to replace the FEM simulation. Instead of calculating a FEM simulation for each particle, applying DNN models can shorten the working time of the optimization process. The QBA optimization algorithm has a faster convergence speed than the traditional PSO algorithm.

 Optimization of a High-Speed PMSM Based on the Quantum Evolutionary Bat Algorithm and Deep Neural Network

Recently, high-speed permanent magnet (PM) motors have high output and efficiency by using rare-earth PMs. However, rare earth magnets with such advantages have major environmental disadvantages, owing to the serious environmental pollution caused during the separation and purification of rare earth materials. In addition, rare earth magnets are highly dependent on rare earth production, which is likely to lead to a surge in rare earth values. From an industrial perspective, an increase in manufacturing costs owing to dependence on rare earth PMs is inevitable, which causes production disruptions. Therefore, research on the reduction of the amount of rare earth PMs used and rare earth PM alternatives are being actively pursued. For most high-speed motors, a lower frequency is advantageous from a control viewpoint. Accordingly, a two-pole cylindrical magnet rotor that has an advantage in terms of output is often used. Because this requires a large amount of magnet usage, in this study, research was conducted to reduce the number of magnets in the conventional high-speed motor. We applied a hollow rotor shaft to reduce the number of magnets used while maintaining the magnetic loading ratio of conventional high-speed motors. The reduction in motor power by reducing PM usage is complemented by the redesign process through the analytical method and finite element method (FEM). A manufacturing model based on the design results was then used to conduct the experimental verification. The model in this study is a high-speed motor with two poles, and in early design, we compare the characteristics of concentrated and distributed windings in a 6-slot stator. The electromagnetic properties were analyzed according to each winding method, and based on this, the MMF(magneto-motive fore) characteristics on a high-speed rotor were compared and analyzed. Then, comparative verification was performed by experimenting with a hollow-shaft rotor model with concentrated windings finally applied by comparing the electromagnetic and mechanical properties according to the type of rotor considering windings. Figure 1(a) shows the 3D structure of two different winding patterns, (b) shows the rotor shape 3D structure along the hollow shaft. Figure 1(c) shows the manufacturing model to which the hollow shaft and concentrated windings are applied. Fig. 2(a) shows the magnetic flux line according to the winding method of the 2 pole 6-slot model. It can be confirmed that the magnetic flux lines are different according to each model with a concentrated winding with a coil pitch of one and a distributed winding with a coil pitch of two. Accordingly, to analyze the winding method influence on the motor, an MMF analysis was first performed, and the mechanical properties were considered based on the results. The MMF analysis was performed as follows. When the air gap is uniform, the relative permeance is constant; therefore, the distribution of the magnetic flux density of the air gap has the same distribution as that of the MMF [3]. Therefore, MMF analysis was performed based on the magnetic flux density of the air gap owing to the armature reaction of the winding method. A space harmonic method, which is an analytical method, is used to derive the air gap magnetic flux density. The space harmonic method is an electromagnetic field analysis technique that obtains magnetic vector potential from the Maxwell equation, which was used to perform an MMF analysis according to the winding methods of a high-speed PM motor [4]. Fig. 2(b) shows the MMF analysis results of the analytical method and FEM. When comparing these two methods, the results obtained are found to be generally well matched, although there are slight harmonic differences. When a current of 15-Arms is applied in the distributed winding case and 25.5-Arms in the concentrated winding case, a similar MMF is observed. Fig. 2(c) shows the density distribution of electromagnetic losses. This result compares the electromagnetic losses generated in the rotor and stator when a hollow shaft is applied to the rotor. It was confirmed that the reduction in stator saturation owing to the reduction in the number of magnets decreased the core loss generated in the stator, and the current increase to match the same existing model output had a slight effect on the eddy current loss. Finally, Fig. 2(d) shows the line voltage according to the rotor shape under load conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that 3D analysis considering leakage through the hollow rotor shaft shape was most similar to the actual experimental results. This suggests the validity of the design results of a high-speed PM motor. Further discussion and results, including mechanical properties, are provided in the full paper.

 Experimental verification and analytical approach for Electromagnetic characteristics of a high-speed permanent magnet motor with two different rotors and winding patterns

This study deals with the electromagnetic loss analysis through the coupling analysis of the controller motor considering the SVPWM control of a high-speed permanent magnet motor for driving a centrifugal pump. High-speed mechanical systems are suitable for applications such as compressors, vacuum pumps, turbine generators, flywheel energy storage systems, drilling machine tools, and electric vehicle propulsion motors in various industries such as transportation, defense, energy, aviation, and general industry. They are being developed for many industrial applications. It is not an exaggeration to say that the proportion of high-speed motors in the modern industry is on the rise. High-speed motors are operated by a power conversion device and a controller, and owing to the development of power conversion elements, high-speed and high-power motors are becoming possible [1]. In addition, there is a growing interest in the analysis of the loss and heat of high-speed motors in industry and academia. In the existing studies, the loss analysis of the motor is primarily performed through the current source analysis, which has the disadvantage of not considering the current harmonics caused by the switching of the controller. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the electromagnetic loss caused by current harmonics. In addition, few researchers have published a study on the characteristic analysis of the motor considering the current harmonics, but it is difficult to obtain accurate analysis results in all operating areas because only a single parameter of the motor is considered [2]. In addition, there is significant interest in reducing the loss and heat generation of high-speed permanent magnet motors. There are certain motor problems because of reduced efficiency and increased calorific value owing to electromagnetic losses that were not considered in the design stage. In particular, the heat generated in the rotating body of high-speed motors using sleeves in the industry is transferred to both bearings along the shaft. It also causes serious problems such as failure of bearings and shortening of life [3]. Hence, the electromagnetic loss analysis of the motor based on the controller and motor co-simulation analysis are important. Therefore, this study deals with the electromagnetic loss and dynamic characteristics analysis considering the inverter drive of a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor for a centrifugal pump. The motor and the SVPWM inverter were modeled, and the environment for the co-simulation analysis of the controller and the motor was established. The designed motor was manufactured, and the motor performance was evaluated. As illustrated in Fig. 1(a), a co-simulation analysis system was constructed using the analyzed motor model and the controller conceptual diagram. Results such as current applied to the motor according to the speed command and load torque, speed response characteristics, torque characteristics, and torque ripple were obtained. Fig. 1(b) depicts an experimental setup for the evaluation of a high-speed permanent magnet motor. The high-speed permanent magnet motor was combined with a centrifugal pump and a torque sensor and was operated through a controller. Fig. 1(c) presents the voltage and current waveforms of the motor measured in the rated speed and rated output range. It could be verified that the rated current was applied to the motor within the range not exceeding the voltage limit. Fig. 2(a) presents a comparison of the sinusoidal current and the incoming current waveforms of the motor during the coupling analysis. It could be verified that harmonics were included in the current waveform by the SVPWM switching frequency and were introduced into the motor. Fig. 2(b) shows the order and magnitude of the harmonic components included in the current waveform. Figs. 2(c) and (d) depict the analysis results of the loss of iron and permanent magnet rotors that occur during general sinusoidal current analysis and coupling analysis. Notably, the iron loss and eddy current loss increased owing to the harmonic components included in the current. Therefore, coupling analysis is important for detailed electromagnetic loss analysis. Based on the results presented here, it is judged that this study will contribute to the related industries by designing, developing, and evaluating the performance of a motor that can be used for industrial 12,500 rpm and 100 hp class centrifugal pumps. In addition, the co-simulation analysis method used in this dissertation is considered to be useful in the design of high-speed motors that can be applied to various industrial applications.

 Electromagnetic Loss Analysis of High-Speed Permanent Magnet Motors for High-speed and High-head Centrifugal Pump using Co-Simulation Method with Controller

This paper proposes a novel axial dual-stator flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine for high-speed (HS) applications. The machine adopts a fractional slot distributed winding, which has a higher winding factor, power and torque density. Firstly, the HSFSPM machine topology and operating principle are introduced. By using the principle of winding complementarity, the HSFSPM machine can counteract the even harmonics of a single stator and generate the standard sinusoidal waveform flux linkage. Besides, it can effectively reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple. Secondly, based on the three-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM), the no-load and load performance of the machine is obtained. Finally, a HSFSPM prototype is manufactured, and a test platform is built to test the no-load and load performance of the machine, which verified the correctness of the theoretical analysis. I． Introduction High-speed (HS) machines are widely used in many civil and industrial applications, such as flywheel energy storage transportation electrification, air compressor, etc. The rotor permanent magnet (PM) machines are used in most applications. However, the PMs in the rotor are exposed to strong centrifugal forces particularly at high speed. They are easy to be damaged due to their vulnerability even if they are protected by a retaining sleeve or the iron core [1]. The stator PM machine has neither windings nor PMs on the rotor. It has a simple structure and is suitable for high-speed operation. The PMs and the armature winding are located in the stator, which makes the PMs easy to cool [2]. The HSFSPM machine is more promising and widely studied due to its higher torque density. II．Topology and operation principle The topology of a three-phase HSFSPM machine with six stator-slots and four rotor-poles is shown in Fig. 1. There are two stators in the axial direction, named Stator_A and Stator_B. The magnetization directions of PMs in different stators are opposite. The two rotor poles differ from each other by 45° in mechanical angles. Six distributed armature winding coils are wound around 12 stator teeth. Fig. 2 shows the flux-linkage and back electromotive force (EMF) for phase winding. It can be seen that the flux linkage and back EMF generated in a single stator contain a large number of second harmonics. With the dual stator structure proposed in this paper, the axial complementarity of the windings can be used to generate a flux linkage and back EMF close to the sinusoidal waveform. The detailed motor design process and performance analysis of no-load and load conditions will be given in the full text. Fig. 1 Proposed dual-stator HSFSPM machine Topology Fig. 2 Flux-linkage and EMF for phase windings III．Experimental verification To verify the HSFSPM machine operating principle, no-load and load performance, a HSFSPM machine is manufactured, and a prototype test platform is built as shown in Fig. 3(a). Figs. 3 (b), (c) and (d) show the waveform and harmonic content of the measured results compared with the predicted values. Fig. 3 The HSFSPM machine experimental platform and test results. V.
