Analysis of Doubly Salient Memory Motors Using Preisach Theory

With the introduction of doubly salient memory (DSM) motors, the flux controllability and hence the speed range of permanent magnet (PM) motors have reached a new height. This paper presents a new method to accurately analyze the DSM motor. The key is to incorporate the general expressions of the Preisach hysteresis model (PHM) of the AlNiCo-PM into the time-stepping finite element method (TS-FEM). Based on the proposed PHM-TS-FEM, both static and transient performances of the DSM motor are successfully simulated. Finally, the validity and accuracy of the proposed method are verified by experimental results.
