The radial-radial flux compound-structure permanent-magnet synchronous machine (CS-PMSM), integrated by two concentrically arranged permanent-magnet electric machines, is an electromagnetic power-splitting device for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). As the two electric machines share a rotor as structural and magnetic common part, their magnetic paths are coupled, leading to possible mutual mag...

Axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous machine (AFPMSM) enjoys the merits of high torque density and efficiency, which make it one good candidate in direct-drive application. The AFPMSM is usually analyzed based on three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) due to its magnetic field distribution. However, 3D FEM suffers large amount calculation, time-consuming not suitable for optimizati...

Combining the main advantages of the permanent magnet synchronous motors and pure synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM), permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) has been considered as a promising alternative to the conventional induction motors. In this paper, utilizing a macroscopic design parameter, called insulation ratio along the q-axis, and based on the magnetic ...

In a hybrid energy system consisting of renewable sources of energy, there should be some storage facility or backup generation to maintain continuity of supply to the load when renewable source alone is not sufficient. The objective of this paper is to present one of such generating system that is capable of acting as a backup generator. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a mic...

In order to avoid the unsafe operation and raise efficiency of yokeless and segmented armature axial flux motors at high speed, the control current of air gap flux is expected to be as small as possible with the same field-weakening effect. To reduce the control complexity, a new structure of module poles with a combination of permanent magnet and soft magnetic material is proposed, which has t...
