This paper details the design and construction of a low-cost electric machine to perform efficiently as both a starter and alternator. In addition to efficiency, considerations are made with regards to safety, size, manufacturability and cost. The design for this machine is chosen to be a single-sided axial flux with surface-mount permanent magnet excitation fitted with single-layer non-overlap...

In terms of torque capability, power factor and efficiency, synchronous reluctance machines with high-anisotropy rotors represent an alternative to conventional induction machines. In particular, they have very robust rotors and can therefore operate at constant power in a wider field-weakening range. The paper discusses a comparison of the various machine concepts using an identical machine ge...

This paper presents the design, fabrication and experimental power analysis of a novel double-stator magnetic geared permanent magnet (DSMGPM) machine which comprises of a doublestator permanent-magnet (PM) machine integrated a with triple rotor magnetic gear. The proposed machine can upscale the low-speed rotating magnetic field of the prime PMs on the prime rotor by using the modulation effec...

In the present work, an integrated method of pole shape design optimization for reduction of torque pulsation components in permanent magnet synchronous motors is developed. A progressive design process is presented to find feasible optimal shapes. This method is applied on the pole shape optimization of two prototype permanent magnet synchronous motors, i.e., 4-poles/6-slots and 4-poles-12slots.

This paper presented an improved analytical method for calculating the open-circuit magnetic field in the surface-mounted permanent magnet machines accounting for slots and eccentric magnet pole. Magnetic field produced by radial and parallel permanent magnet is equivalent to that produced by surface current according to equivalent surface-current method of permanent magnet. The model is divide...

Accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. In this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

In this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3D finite element modeling and experimental tests. The structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

The Theme: Due to environmental and energy concerns, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining increased attention. At the heart of the drive system of these vehicles is the electric machine and drive. For these applications, high power density, high torque density, wide speed range, and efficiency are of primary importance. To meet these demands, interior permanen...

Sensorless position control of Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (SMPMSM) still is a challenge. High performance position control at low and zero speed is only possible using anisotropic effects being not considered in the fundamental-frequency machine models but in extended highfrequency models. This paper presents a new highfrequency injection method estimating the rotor p...
