Electromagnetic performance analysis of multilayer interior PMSM with fractional slot concentrated windings for electric vehicle applications

Authors: ZHIWEI ZHANG, LIBING ZHOU

Abstract: This paper presents the design and analysis of fractional slot multilayer interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) with concentrated winding for electric vehicles applications. The major advantages of concentrated winding will be analyzed first. The significant design consideration of multilayer interior permanent magnet machines will be illustrated, as well. Finally, the advanced finite element method will be employed to verify the detailed electromagnetic performance of the proposed interior PMSMs.

Keywords: Permanent magnet synchronous machines, fractional slot, concentrated winding, electric vehicle
