Abstract

In this paper, the concept of efficiency evaluation of permanent magnet synchronous machines using the synthetic loading Technique is described. Synthetic loading is a technique of efficiency evaluation that eliminates the need for a mechanical load to the test machine. The model for synthetic loading is described for the permanent magnet synchronous machine. Simulation and experimental results show that the synthetic loading method is able to evaluate the efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous machine.
