PM Axial Flux Machine Design for Hybrid Traction

Design of Axial-Flux Motor for Traction Application

This paper deals with the design of high power – low dimensions axial-flux permanent-magnet motor intended for traction application. First, two motor configurations are analytically designed and compared using finite element calculation. Then, the configuration yielding the best performances is integrated and modelled with the whole traction chain under MATLAB/SIMULINK environment in order to d...

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Medium Power Pm-assisted Reluctance Synchronous Traction Machine Using Bonded Pm-sheets

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

Energy Conversion Loops for Flux-Switching PM Machine Analysis

Induction and synchronous machines have traditionally been the first choice of automotive manufacturers for electric/hybrid vehicles. However, these conventional machines are not able anymore to meet the increasing demands for a higher energy density due to space limitation in cars. Fluxswitching PM (FSPM) machines with their high energy density are very suitable to answer this demand. In this ...
