Title [sv]
Modellering av nya olinjära permanentmagnetiska material för energitillämpningar
Title [en]
Modelling novel nonlinear permanent magnet materials for energy applications
Abstract [en]
There are several ongoing research projects with the aim to find novel, rare earth metal free permanent magnets to substitute the commonly used neodymium-iron-boron magnets. To facilitate this research and evaluate possible magnet candidates there is a need for nonlinear material models to model magnets in electrical machines. The neodymium-iron-boron magnets can be modelled with linear models whereas preliminary results indicate novel materials to have nonlinear magnetic properties. This research project aims at developing a computationally efficient method for modelling nonlinear materials for use in existing finite element method based simulation tools for electrical machines connected to an electrical circuit. The method will be experimentally verified. Ones the method is verified it will be used to investigate the stability of nonlinear magnets when used in electrical machines with the goal to determine how nonlinear a material can be to be considered a candidate as a permanent magnet for electrical machines. Previous results indicate that the stability of a material’s magnetic properties might not be as important for large slow-rotating wind power generators as for high-speed electrical motors, so the materials will be evaluated for different applications. The research will be performed by a PhD student and the main applicant during four years. An overall goal with this project is to contribute to a more sustainable society.

Abstract [en]

This paper presents the measurement results of the BH/MH curves of the Alnico 8 (LNGT40) with recoil loops and a mathematical model for the calculation of the average magnetic flux density in a cubic permanent magnet. The measurements were performed with a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The magnet samples have a cubic shape with 3 mm sides. BH curves in preferred (easy) and transverse directions and recoil loops were measured and compared to Alnico 9 (LNGT72) as well as to the data from the supplier. The load line of the cubic magnet in 0 A/m applied magnetic field was found. A mathematical model was developed which can approximate the MH a curve for an applied field with an arbitrarily chosen angle between the field and easy axis, given MH a curves for 0o and 90o. Also, a simplified general model of a cubic permanent magnet in the air and calculation results of stored energy and hysteresis losses were presented.
