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 ...

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) is a exceedingly efficient motor and is successfully operated in a wide range of speed. Various types of permanent magnet synchronous motors are accessible in the market offering advantages of direct on line starting as induction motor and effectively running on synchronous speed. Major disadvantages of PMSM is uncertainty of successfully synchronization...

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are attractive candidates for Electric Vehicles (EVs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. This paper presents general design characteristics of AFPM machines. Moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) a...

Accurate computing of the saturated inductances of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is very important during the design process. In this paper, a new method is presented based on the B-H characteristic of the stator material and unsaturated inductances formulations. This method is used to calculate the saturated inductances of the axial flux PMSM. The synchronous inductance and all o...

The demand for electric bikes has been increasing in recent years, and so their drive, which requires a high power-to-weight ratio or power density. An axial-flux permanent magnet motor with Halbach-array is an excellent choice bike drives thanks to its known characteristics of density, reliability, efficiency. However, because machine topology not common, the manufacturing process can be chall...
