Abstract
This thesis discusses the design of a Surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) with 9 slot/10 poles and 15 slot/4 poles using ANSYS
Maxwell 2D simulation software. The result from the simulations is compared between the two specification which 9 slot/10 poles and 15 slot/4 poles by varying the magnetization pattern which are Parallel, Radial, and Segmented Halbach to the performance of the Surface-mounted PMSM. PMSMs are pivotal in numerous industrial applications, ranging from electric vehicles to renewable energy systems, where optimizing their efficiency and output is crucial. Utilizing ANSYS 2D Maxwell software, this study conducts detailed finite element simulations to analyze the electromagnetic behaviour of PMSMs with different magnetization patterns. The radial magnetization pattern, commonly employed in conventional motor designs, is compared against the parallel and segmented Halbach arrangements, which exhibit promising enhancements in magnetic flux density distribution and utilization. The performances of three-phase PM motors, such as airgap flux density, phase back-EMF, and cogging torque, are evaluated under the influence of different magnetization patterns. Through comparison, this thesis offers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each magnetization pattern in terms of motor efficiency, torque consistency, and overall performance. This study provides insights into designing PMSMs for specific applications and highlights the importance of advanced simulation tools like ANSYS 2D Maxwell. The findings of this research contribute valuable insights into the optimization of PMSM design for specific applications, facilitating informed decision-making in motor design and manufacturing processes. Additionally, the study underscores the significance of advanced simulation tools such as ANSYS 2D Maxwell in comprehensively analyzing and optimizing electromechanical systems like PMSMs.
