A Study on the Optimal Rotor Design of LSPM Considering the Starting Torque and Efficiency

초록

This paper presents the optimal rotor design method in a single-phase line-start permanent magnet rotor (LSPM) considering the starting torque and efficiency. To consider nonlinear characteristics, the design process is comprised of the FEM and analytical method. During this study, permanent-magnets and cage bars were designed using the magnetic equivalent circuit method and the barriers that control all magnetic flux were designed using the FEM, and the tradeoff of starting torque and efficiency is controlled by weight function in Taguchi method simulation. Finally, the performance of the optimal model is compared with those of conventional models.
