Parametric Design and Simulation of Surface Permanent Magnet Motor with Halbach Magnet Configuration

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are a standard in the automotive sector. Among PMSMs, the surfacemounted permanent magnet (SPM) machines offer high torque density and are widely adopted for high-performance motors. The Halbach configuration of the PM allows to further increase the PM flux density (and so the torque density), without the increase of PM mass. The aim of the thesis is to include this kind of motor in SyR-e (https://github.com/SyR-e/syre_public) the open-source design and simulation framework developed in Matlab from PEIC members. At the moment, SyR-e covers other types of electric motor, from Synchronous reluctance motor to interior and surface-mounted permanent magnet motors and induction motor.
