DESIGN OF ELECTRIC MACHINES: Axial Flux Machines

Characterization of Winding Faults in Axial Flux Reluctance

Nelson, Andrew Lincoln: Characterization of Winding Faults in Axial Flux Reluctance Motors in the Context of Electric Vehicle Propulsion Systems. (Under the direction of Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow.) Since the late 1980’s there has been a major resurgence in electric vehicle propulsion research and development. This trend has been stimulated by various factors, including rising fossil fuel costs, environm...

Design of Axial-flux Permanent-magnet Low-speed Machines and Performance Comparison between Radial-flux and Axial-flux Machines

Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Science (Technology) to be presented with due permission for public examination and criticism in the auditorium 1382 at Lappeenranta ABSTRACT Asko Parviainen This thesis presents an alternative approach to the analytical design of surface-mounted axial-flux permanent-magnet machines. Emphasis has been placed on the design of axial-flux machines with a one-roto...

Performance Analysis of a Novel Three-phase Axial Flux Switching Permanent Magnet Generator with Overlapping Concentrated Winding

This paper proposes a novel axial flux switching permanent magnet generator for small wind turbine applications. Surface mounted axial flux switching permanent magnet (SMAFSPM) machine is a new type of these machines that is introduced in this paper. One of the most important challenges in optimal designing of this kind of machines, is ease of construction and maintenance. One of the main featu...

Performance Comparison of Dual-Rotor Radial-Flux and Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet BLDC Machines

A novel machine family – dual-rotor, Radial-Flux, Permanent-Magnet (RFPM) machines -has demonstrated that it can substantially improve machine torque density and efficiency. The objective of this paper is to provide a performance comparison between two major alternatives of this technology: Surface-mounted dual-rotor RFPM machines and Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet (AFPM) machines. The comparison ...
