The cogging torque would still be a constant part of permanent magnet-electric machines. This happens because of the construction in which permanent magnets are attached to the rotor, and a slot is present at the core of the stator. The contact between the two, related to the distance between the magnetic surface and the stator slot, makes it challenging to eliminate the cogging torque. This study aims to maximize cogging torque by reducing it with a new method. The proposed method is a mixture of two techniques that indicate significant promise. This invention mixes two techniques to improve the final results. The first process is called magnetic edge shaping, and the second technique is called a dummy slot on the stator. A fractional slot number (FSN) type with 24 slots and 18 poles is the permanent magnet machine used for this investigation. This work is assisted by software version 4.2 of the Finite Element Magnetic Method (FEMM), which will simulate the original and the proposed design. The proposed method proved to be effective in minimizing the peak value of the cogging torque, as shown by the simulation results of 98% of the initial design. Combining the two techniques may reduce the tangential value of the flux so that the flux leading to the slot is lower than the initial design.
This paper is about to discuss the effect of combining a magnetic shaping technique with an axial channel in the rotor core to reduce the cogging torque of a permanent magnet synchronous generator. Computation process is performed by using the optimization response surface method. In this case, this research is done by employing two types of axial channel systems, namely circular and hexagonal. The axial channel area at the core of the engine rotor is 0.000279683 m2. Determination of magnetic shaping was carried out with an angle of 10 and a surface angle of 530. The effect of the combination of the cogging torque reduction technique with magnetic shaping and axal channel was analyzed by numerical method based on the finite element method (FEMM). Based on the analysis, it is found that the combination shows a decrease in cogging torque by 98% when compared with the cogging torque in the initial design (initial structure). Another advantage of the combination of the two cogging torque reduction techniques is that there is no significant increase in the magnetic flux density of the engine core. It can be said that the combination of the cogging torque reduction technique and the axial channel at the core of the engine rotor can significantly reduce the cogging torque.
