Design and analysis of marine permanent magnet synchronous motor based on Motor-cad

Abstract

In the marine electric propulsion system, the motor is an important part to ensure safe navigation, which should have the characteristics of low noise, low vibration, high performance protection level, etc. The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has the advantages of rapid dynamic response, stable operation, strong overload capacity, high efficiency and small size, which is especially suitable for electric propulsion systems in marine environments. According to the performance requirements of marine motors and the permanent magnet synchronous motor structural characteristics, an electromagnetic design and simulation of a 120kW marine permanent magnet synchronous motor is completed in this paper. Meanwhile, the stator skewed slot is used to reduce the amplitude of harmonic distortion and the additional torque caused by tooth harmonic. At same time, the rotor structure with U-shaped magnetic steel groove is used to enhance the density of power and overload capacity of the motor, expand the scope of motor constant power operation effectively. A prototype with high efficiency, reliability and a small volume has been developed. According to the simulation results, the marine permanent magnet synchronous motor designed in this paper fully meets the design requirements.
