摘要

The on-load magnetization characteristics of a newly developed partitioned stator switched flux hybrid magnet memory machine are comprehensively analyzed in this paper. First, the open-circuit and on-load permanent magnet magnetization performances are evaluated and compared. The mismatch of the required demagnetizing currents between open-circuit and on-load cases is identified. Then, the on-load demagnetization behavior of low coercive force (LCF) magnet is disclosed by the frozen permeability method. Besides, a numerical solution for the refinement of LCF magnet sizing is presented by a proposed virtual linear hysteresis model so as to effectively prevent the undesired on-load demagnetization. Finally, an optimized prototype is tested to verify the theoretical analyses.
