“…The electromagnetic noise is generated by the radial electromagnetic force harmonics in the air gap exciting the stator and the rotor. In order to reduce the electromagnetic noise in electrical machines, many researchers have proposed several methods, which can be classified into two categories: - Passive noise reduction methods, which include
- Slot numbers combination [ 10 , 11 ];
- Machine geometry design [ 12 , 13 , 14 ];
- Machine PWM strategy [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ];
- Passive anti-harmonic filter [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]; and
- Active noise reduction methods, which include
- Piezoelectric actuator [ 22 ];
- Injection of current harmonics [ 23 , 24 ];
- Injection of current harmonics in auxiliary windings [ 25 ];
- Active filter topology [ 26 , 27 ];
