Induction machine
Stakeholders and their perspectives
Customers Sales & Marketing Manufacturing Engineering & Operations Application Engineering Product Development
Opportunities
Materials: improved and exotic Manufacturing processes and process control Design, analysis and optimization tools
Induction machine
Temperature is everything
Material limits (life)
Insulation system Bearing system
Cost is everything
Operating cost: efficiency, power factor Initial cost: better material, more material
IM analysis challenges
Non-linear: saturation, core losses Winding harmonics Rotor/Stator slotting & skewing Material property variation (lot-to-lot) Dimensional variation & shift Manufacturing/assembly variation Rotor resistance End-leakage (consider frame) High-frequency impedance (bearing currents)
IM design synthesis
Clean sheet
Single application Product family
Unknowns
Rotor & stator aspect ratios Slot shape details Discrete values only
Pole count Discrete wire sizes, non-linear cost function Winding details: number of turns, coils, pitch Integral numbers of slots, rotor/stator Lamination material, grade, thickness
Rules-of-thumb
Stator current density
620 A/cm2 to 1 kA/cm2 Highly dependant on cooling system Revise after thermal modeling

In-house
Typically only lumped parameter (LP) May be tied to manufacturing or operations Some special versions of commercial software

IM design optimization
Inverter driven machines
Pole count is now a free variable Stator & Rotor lamination design optimization can be decoupled Skewing penalizes machine
Finesse approach
Size machine, ignore details & discrete values Create response surface & narrow search space Optimize rotor and stator separately Second pass takes into account discrete values Requires dedicated code
Key design points: torque corner point, max speed, max torque Best motor will deliver maximum torque for maximum drive current

Opportunity
Simple tools
When to apply vs. other technologies (IM vs. PM) Rough sizing: stack length, stator od, rotor od Fit of test data for lamination family, or single design
Models of different manufacturing techniques/defects Stray load loss - rotor/stator harmonic interaction Stator conductor eddy currents; large copper crosssection, high frequency Vehicle to adapt academic work into industrial setting
Open source Widespread use Extensible framework 17
