Abstract: This paper advances magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) modeling for permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs) with arbitrarily curved segments. As PMLSMs are increasingly utilized in industrial applications, accurate and computationally efficient modeling techniques are paramount. This research proposes a novel approach that meets these requirements and paves the way for real-time model-based control, observers, and estimation strategies. Existing MEC models for PMLSMs primarily consider straight stator segments, neglecting the impact of the curvature of curved segments commonly used in modern PMLSM designs. The approach proposed in this paper systematically incorporates these effects into the MEC model for PMLSMs to address this limitation. As demonstrated by several validation experiments, a calibration concept based on measurements further enhances the model’s accuracy. Finally, a method for efficiently implementing the proposed MEC model for a whole PMLSM setup significantly reduces the computation time compared to the standard implementation.
