This paper presents design studies on a hybrid excitation motor (HEM) with a field winding on a rotor. This HEM has a reverse saliency, and in addition to using reluctance torque, it aims to reduce the cost of the inverter by improving the power factor and to eliminate the cost caused by the field winding power supply and slip ring. Using the IPMSM installed in the 3rd generation PRIUS as a comparison target, the efficiency in each operating region was compared by two-dimensional finite element analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
