Electric machines with rare-earth magnets have the highest efficiency and power density. However, rare-earth magnets are expensive, and their manufacturing process, as well as mining rare-earth raw materials, is harmful for the environment. Therefore, developing energy-efficient electric machines without rare-earth magnets is …
اقرأ المزيدPermanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machines (PMASynRM) provide a low-cost alternative to the Surface PM Machines due to the use of relatively lower grades of rare-earth (RE) or RE-free magnets, as the performance degradation due to weaker magnets is compensated by the presence of reluctance …
