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...

This paper analyzed the effect of temperature on the permanent magnet flux and output torque. The major parameter which will impact the torque control accuracy of a surface mounted permanent magnet motor is the variation of the permanent magnet temperature. In addition, the temperature variation of the permanent magnet will also influence the maximum torque per ampere of the motor. To analyze t...

I . Introduction Multi-phase machines offer several key features, such as high reliability, high torque density, and high efficiency . Therefore, they are obtained wide applications from automotive to aerospace [1][2] . One of them is the five-phase PM machine, where the torque density can be improved by injecting third harmonic current . However, in order to maintain high torque density and re...

Permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are widely used in electric vehicles owing to many advantages, such as high power density, high efficiency, etc. Iron losses can account for a significant component of the total loss in permanent-magnet (PM) machines. Consequently, these losses should be carefully considered during the PMSM design. In this paper, an analytical calculation method has...
