Cogging torque reduction of axial flux permanent magnet brushless dc (PMBLDC) motor is an important issue which demands attention of machine designers during design process. This paper presents magnet notching technique to reduce cogging torque of axial flux PMBLDC motor designed for electric vehicle application. Reference axial flux PMBLDC motor of 250 W, 150 rpm is designed with 48 stator slo...

Permanent magnet synchronous machines are known as a good candidate for hybrid electric vehicles due to their unique merits. However they have two major drawbacks i.e. high cost and small speed range. In this paper an optimal design of a permanent magnet machine is presented. A reduction of permanent magnet material for a constant torque and an extension in speed and torque ranges are chosen as...

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) have been widely used in many industrial applications. In This paper a new method for multi objective optimal design of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSMs) with surface mounted permanent magnet rotor is presented to achieve maximum efficiency and power density using a Bees algorithm for industrial applications. The objective function is a...

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...

accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. in this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

In the paper by Vaclavek et al. (IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol. 60, no. 8, pp. 3047-3059, Aug. 2013), the local observability of both induction machine and permanent magnet synchronous machine under motion sensorless operation is studied. In this letter, the “slowly varying” speed assumption is discussed, and the permanent magnet synchronous machine observability condition at standstill is re...

Today, due to the limited supply and rapid consumption of fossil fuels, transitioning towards renewable energy supplies has become more important than ever.. The purpose of this paper is to present a new linear permanent magnet vernier machine structure which is designed to capture wave energy and improve the performance of the prototype vernier machine. By halving the proposed vernier machine,...
