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...

In this paper effort is made for the torque ripple minimization of 70 W, 24 Volt, 350 rpm, surface mounted radial permanent brushless DC (SPM BLDC) motor. The stator slot shaping is analyzed. The results obtained from FE analyses have been discussed. Design of stator slots have influence upon the cogging torque. Options available for slot designs viz, square type slots, square with curved tangs...

This paper investigates the influence of the rotor structure on torque and flux weakening region of V-shape IPM (interior permanent magnet) machine from TOYOTA PRIUS type, more specifically, keeping always the same magnet volume, the effect of the open angle between the two magnet segments of each V-shape pole on the machine performance is studied. Moreover, in order to examine the impact of ph...

In this paper, we present a semi-analytical model for determining the magnetic and electromagnetic characteristics of spoke-type permanent magnet (STPM) machine considering magnet segmentation and finite soft-material relative permeability. The proposed model is based on the resolution of the Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations in a Cartesian pseudo-coordinate system with respect to the relative ...
