Research on optimum design and control of permanent magnet synchronous motor for elevator

Abstract Due to the impact of the world energy crisis and environmental pollution problems, the combination of frequency converter and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) as the core of elevator drive has become a new direction for the development of the elevator industry. Compared with the traditional electric excitation synchronous motor, because the rotor of PMSM adopts permanent magnet excitation, no excitation winding, brush and slip ring are needed, the motor volume is greatly reduced. At the same time, for there is no excitation loss, the efficiency of PMSM) is higher than that of electric excitation synchronous motor. Therefore, the application of PMSM in elevator drive system has more obvious advantages. In this paper, PMSM for elevator is taken as the research object, and motor design software Motor-CAD is used to optimize the design of a kind of PMSM with power level. Then, the fine-tuned and optimized model is imported into the finite element analysis software, and the magnetic field analysis method is used to simulate the electromagnetic field of PMSM, so as to observe the magnetic field distribution of PMSM in the static field. At the same time, the three phase EMF and current waveform of PMSM is analysed to verify the design meets the requirements. Finally, the cogging torque of PMSM is studied in detail. Because the stator fractional slot winding design is adopted, the cogging torque of the prototype is greatly reduced.
