Eliminating rare earth permanent magnets on low‐speed high‐torque machines: A performance and cost comparison of synchronous reluctance machines, ferrite permanent magnet‐synchronous reluctance machines and permanent magnet synchronous machines for a direct‐drive elevator system

Abstract In the last few years, the reduction of the dependency on rare‐earth magnets has been one of the main concerns for electrical machine manufacturers. Synchronous reluctance machines (SynRMs) and ferrite permanent magnet‐assisted synchronous reluctance machines (PMa‐SynRMs) are emerging as al...
