This is Newcastle – it was the largest coal port in
the world in the 18th century
Hence the saying “never bring coals to Newcastle”
WEMPEC tops betting list for best machines group
worldwide so I bring machines to WEMPEC with
considerable fear and humility!

The need to make things move has
never been greater
Cars
Trains
Boats
Aeroplanes
Automate
everything – 150 Alstom/Rolls Royce

Hitachi HEV motor

The old guard
Wound rotor synchronous – still the best
for big generators
Induction motors, turn it on and forget it –
still the best for 1500 to 3000 rpm fixed
speed
Commutator m/c’s dc and universal still the
cheapest for short term high speed and
low cost high starting torque
These machines won’t disappear but their
designers are a dying breed – if the
industry does not pay to train them …..
“Houston we have a problem….”

Two big new drivers
1 Power Electronics
Can choose any speed – faster or slower
“synchronous” (including e.g. SRM’s) motors
possible
Can have variable speed
Can have better control
Can manage inrush – no 4pu online start
current
Can control through faults
But why does it cost so much!
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
Magnets
Chinese magnets have removed the
cost floor
Magnets compete best at “small”
sizes but “small” is really quite large
e.g. even a turbogenerator field
magnet would “only” need to be 500
mm thick
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
Example: Panasonic air conditioner scroll pump motor
The application is driven by
the need for efficiency
Non-overlapped, interior
magnet m/c with full inverter
Used to be the province of
on/off induction motors
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
Smaller, lighter, cheaper
If its power we want then go faster –
or is direct drive the answer?
Push up the loadings – more flux,
more current
Find ways to make it for less
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
Lets provide a reference - Turbogenerators
try very hard with cooling and speed
Drax 660MW- 2 pole
Built by C.A. Parsons
(inventor of steam turbine)
August 22nd 1966 – sweet 16
– those were the days!
Mag shear stress = 146 kN/m2
Rotor surface speed = 179.5 m/s = 402 mph
Self hoop stress = 253 MPa (UTS ~ 1000MPa)
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
The biggest bang for the buck
1: how fast should we go?
50Hz is only right for 100’s of MW
everything smaller should run at higher
frequency
Motor size proportional to torque, power =
torque x speed there is a good argument
for fast
e.g. 30mm dia rotor (hand drill) for
253MPa self stress means speed of
114,000rpm = times 6 on current power!

The biggest bang for the buck 2
– can we do anything about the loadings
Bn = limited by steel (and magnets) to 1T
1: drop the steel and the magnets, use
superconductors – 4T now possible but
it costs in £ and complexity
“conventional wound field synchronous
m/c” - Superconducting field, no iron in
flux path, air gap winding, forced cooled
– e.g. water

2: drop the steel and
use loads of magnets
Bn still 1T using halbach magnets
- but big weight and volume

Claw pole TFM
23Nm/kg, naturally cooled, 100 poles, power factor 0.41
very high electric loading, tortuous magnetic path
= the flux leaks all over the place
= poor power factor and bad use of magnets
Mag shear stress = 68kN/m2

There is nothing much in electrical
machines which is truly new!
Alexanderson Looks a bit like

inductor TFM to me!

Making it cheaper - should we compromise the
motor for the electronics?
Is it 6 switch bridge
or matrix converter
for everything?
Or should we bifilar
wind for instance?
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
PM machines – “new” freedoms
Magnet strength prop depth; winding
strength with area - at small sizes magnet
has massive advantage
Magnets don’t conduct (much!)
Magnets are not permeable
Magnets have fixed pole number
Can take terrible liberties with magnetic
and electric circuit!
Newcastle Drives and M achines Group
Explosion in methods of
construction - Its all about non-
overlapped coils
Non-overlapped coils let you tear the
motor apart
Make the end windings shorter
Allow slots to be fully filled even with
full automation (coil insertion slot fill
<35%, separate teeth 65% or more)
But have lots of space harmonics so
watch out!

Non-overlapped winding induction motor
can we get I2R reduction?
Shorter end windings,
better slot fill
But nonsynchronous
harmonics cause loss
(evens really hurt)
Two stators displaced
180o wound backwards
kills even harmonics
But! zig-zag is very
high

To Conclude:
If electronics cost next to nothing (big if!!!):
IM looses all round
SRM might win some
PM wins (if magnets keep falling in price!)
The biggest motor challenge bar
none is to get the cost of the
electronics down
