Modeling and analysis of a multi-segmented linear permanent-magnet synchronous machine using a parametric magnetic equivalent circuit

This paper presents an improved magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) method for modeling linear permanent-magnet synchronous motors (LPMSMs) with adjustable accuracy. The performance of machine with different dimensions, poles and slot numbers can be studied by the proposed flexible MEC, where the core nonlinearity is fitted on the material B–H curve. End effect is modeled by considering two virtual zones with desired accuracy at both entrance and exit ends of the primary. A new structure based on magnets segmentation is also proposed to investigate its effect on the motor performance. Finally, the results of the proposed method are compared with 3D-FEM to show the effectiveness of the presented model. The results show improvement in processing time with good accuracy compared to previous classic methods. In general, introducing a new model based on an improved MEC approach for modeling LPMSMs considering slot effect, iron core saturation and segmented PMs with flexible accuracy by adjusting the number of flux tubes is the paper novelty which is studied in this work.
