This paper presents cogging torque reduction methods for an axial-gap magnetic gear utilizing combination of the number of poles with the stationary pole pieces and modifying the pole piece shape. The present study is aimed to develop a magnetic gear, which has a large transmission torque over 360Nm by using the three-dimensional finite element method. The maximum transmission torque of 300Nm w...

Effect of rotor iron pole radii and skew on performance of interior permanent magnet motors is studied in this paper. A comparison is carried out by finite element analysis method and is confirmed by the experimental results obtained with two laboratory prototypes. The results show that, although the skew method is very effective in suppressing the cogging torque of an interior permanent magnet...

recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

This paper deals with adaptive output tracking of a transverse flux permanent magnet machine as a nonlinear system with unknown nonlinearities by utilizing Takagi-Sugeno type neuro-fuzzy networks. The technique of feedback linearization and H control are used to design an adaptive control law for compensating the unknown nonlinear parts, such the effect of cogging torque, as a disturbance on th...

Recently, Inner permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines have been introduced as a possible traction motor in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and traction applications due to their unique merits.

This paper presents a model-free iterative learning control algorithm for linear time-invariant systems. At every trial, a finite impulse response filter to update the system input is calculated by solving a convex optimization problem that minimizes the next trial’s tracking error taking into account actuator constraints. Simulation results show the ability of the proposed model-free method to...

An electric commutated frog-leg winding permanent-magnet (PM) DC machine is proposed in this paper.

Under the cooperation between the position sensor and the e...

An external rotor transverse flux motor using a combined-type stator core is proposed for a direct drive application in this paper. The stator core is combined by two kinds of components that can both be manufactured conveniently by generic laminated silicon steel used in traditional motors. The motor benefits from the predominance of low manufacturing cost and low iron loss by using a silicon-...
