摘要

The d- and q-axis inductances are crucial parameters on interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines, which play an essential role in flux-weakening capability and reluctance torque for PM in-wheel machines. The d- and q-axis inductances have nonlinear characteristics obviously, especially for low length-diameter ratio. In this paper, a low length-diameter ratio double-layer magnet structure of an IPM machine is designed to meet the requirement of high torque density and space limitation for in-wheel machines. In addition, the analytical expression of the end-winding inductance, d- and q-axis inductances are deduced considering the magnetic flux leakage, and the inductance variation mechanism is revealed based on the analytical model. Then, the variation regularity of d- and q-axis inductances with some of the key parameters are analyzed and studied, such as phase current, stator structure, and so on. It is found that the negative-salient characteristic exists due to the grievous axial and radial leakage flux in IPM machines with low length-diameter ratio and oversaturation conditions. Finally, a 75 kW IPM machine prototype is manufactured and tested to confirm the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
