Experimental Validation and Integrated Multi-Physics Analysis of High-Speed Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Marine Exhaust Gas Recirculation Blower System

This study explores an integrated multi-physics design approach for a high-speed Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) optimized for marine diesel engine Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) blower systems. To satisfy the rigorous operational demands of marine environments, an IPMSM with a rated output of 150 kW and a base speed of 9000 rpm was developed. The design validity was rigorously verified through a comprehensive multi-physics framework using the Finite Element Method (FEM), ensuring a balance between electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical performance. The investigation established a mathematical model for the IPMSM driven by a Space Vector Pulse-Width Modulation (SVPWM) inverter, facilitating a detailed analysis of steady-state characteristics within the EGR system. To guarantee long-term reliability at high rotational speeds, the study performed an integrated thermal analysis based on precise electrical loss separation and a rotor-dynamic evaluation focusing on unbalanced vibration responses of the shaft. Finally, the proposed design was validated by integrating the IPMSM into a full-scale EGR blower system. Experimental evaluations across the entire operating range confirm that the integrated design successfully achieves the high power density and mechanical robustness required for marine diesel applications.
