Torque performance, especially torque density, is a critical performance index for the flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine that attractive propulsion system. In this article, novel FSPM with dual sets of arrangements proposed. With topology, density proposed significantly improved due to much increased working harmonic contents magnetomotive force (MMF). Moreover, cogging also inhere...

A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with rotor embedded segmented permanent magnet was analyzed. The structural features and flux weakening principle are introduced. The shape of the rotor is optimized to get a sinusoidal air gap magnetic density waveform and reduce the toque ripple. The whole-permanent-magnet (PM) motor and the segmented-permanent-magnet motor are compared from the asp...

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...

– Direct Torque Control using Multilevel Inverter (DTC-MLI) strategy has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years, in the field of high power induction machines or permanent magnet machines drives applications for high dynamic response. This proposal combines the advantages of the multilevel inverter with direct torque controlled based schemes. Numerous efforts have been accomplished ...

This paper copes with the numerical simulation for convective heat transfer in the stator disk of an axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) electrical machine. Overheating is one of the main issues in the design of AFMPs, which mainly occurs in the stator disk, so that it needs to be prevented. A rotor-stator configuration with 16 magnets at the periphery of the rotor is considered. Air is allowed ...

The radial-radial flux compound-structure permanent-magnet synchronous machine (CS-PMSM), integrated by two concentrically arranged permanent-magnet electric machines, is an electromagnetic power-splitting device for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). As the two electric machines share a rotor as structural and magnetic common part, their magnetic paths are coupled, leading to possible mutual mag...

The axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines with yokeless and segmented armature (YASA) topology are suitable for in-wheel traction systems due to the high power density efficiency. To guarantee reliable operation of YASA machines, an accurate thermal analysis should be undertaken in detail during electrical machine design phase. technical contribution this paper is establish a detailed mod...

In this paper, a hexagonal magnet shape is proposed to have an arc profile capable of reducing torque ripples resulting from cogging in single-sided axial flux permanent (AFPM) machine. The arc-shaped increases the air-gap length effectively and makes more sinusoidal, which decreases density hence causes reduction torque. Cogging basic source vibration, along with noise PM machines, since it ma...
