Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) motors of two types, coreless and conventional topologies, have been studied in order to identify their merits and drawbacks at different ratings, particularly for in-wheel electric transportation applications. The performance of the coreless with several slotpole combinations and number of disks is evaluated. Design of experiments (DOE) methodology is utilized to...
Nonintrusive efficiency evaluation method based on the air gap torque and rotor slot frequency is generally used in industry application. However, this method has the following problems: 1) the number of rotor slots should be given in advance; 2) with some special number of pole pairs and rotor slots, the stator and rotor slot harmonics may be aliasing, which may lead to great errors in identification...
This paper first developed magnetic reluctance models for magnetic inductors. The near magnetic field emission of the inductors with different winding and air gap configurations are analyzed based on the developed models. Several inductor structures are proposed to reduce the near magnetic field emission. Simulation and experiments are conducted to validate the developed techniques.
This paper introduces a large air-gap capacitive wireless power transfer (WPT) system for electric vehicle charging that achieves a power transfer density exceeding the state-of-the-art by more than a factor of four. This high power transfer density is achieved by operating at a high switching frequency (6.78 MHz), combined with an innovative approach to designing matching networks that enable effective...
Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) synchronous motors are attractive for low speed direct drive systems because of their high specific torque. The present paper proposes a novel axial flux machine topology, called MAGNUS, obtained by combining a yokeless central stator type NS arrangement with two external high polarity spoke-rotors, resulting in very high flux concentration. The stator, which includes...
This paper investigates a novel two-converters based operation of a Brushless Doubly Fed Reluctance Machine (BDFRM). The BDFRM has a ducted rotor, and the stator is wound with two distributed windings which are fed from two separate power converters. Operation theory with frequency sharing between the two windings is introduced and corresponding FEA simulations are analyzed. The proposed BDFRM design...
In this paper, reluctance synchronous machines are designed and optimised to operate in the 5 MW power range for the implementation as wind generators. It is shown, when assuming no rotor deformation, that reluctance synchronous generators can be comparatively designed to operate in this power range with power factors higher than 0.8 achieved. In order to further improve the machine performance, an...
Ultra-high speed switched reluctance machines (SRM) are becoming more and more promising due to its robustness and simple geometry. This paper proposed a detailed design procedure for an ultra-high speed SRM, including dimension calculation, material selection, winding selection, windage torque calculation, drive system and control strategy. The ultimate goal is to build a machine that is electromagnetically...
To calculate the d-/q-axis stator-to-rotor mutual inductances considering the saturation and magnetic field distribution, two improved methods are developed, one using the product of the per-pole fundamental flux times the effective turns to get the mutual flux linkage; the other obtaining the mutual flux linkage from integral of the element magnetic potential in the range of corresponding winding...
The linear induction machine (LIM) suffers heavily from low efficiency due to its large air-gap length, the influence of end-effects, and the partial load conditions. Several loss minimization control (LMC) techniques have been developed for LIM to adjust the flux to an optimal level to reduce the losses in the steady state. However, these methods are not applicable during dynamic process, since it...
This paper presents a new investigation of the permanent magnet dimension selection for an AlNiCo based variable-flux machine based on the permanent magnet operating point. To do this, the magnetic features of an AlNiCo permanent magnet material are reviewed and an analytical method to estimate the magnetization level of the permanent magnet at different operation conditions is presented. Moreover,...
Variable flux memory (VFM) permanent magnet (PM) machines exhibit an additional degree-of-freedom for control, i.e. PM magnetization state, and thus excellent flux controllability. Moreover, the hybrid PM topologies having variable PM (VPM) with low coercive force and constant PM (CPM) with high coercive force at the same time, are employed to improve the torque density and the flux controllability...
In most loosely coupled inductive wireless power transfer systems, the air-gap magnetic flux density between coils is still far above safety limit, which is a potential threat to human beings and animals. In addition, less attention is paid to the air-gap electric field intensity, which increases significantly as the operating frequency increases. In this paper, a multi-kW inductive wireless power...
As a promising candidate in direct drive application, Vernier permanent magnet synchronous machines (VPMSMs) feature high torque density due to magnetic gearing effect. This paper reveals the nature of magnetic gearing effect in VPMSMs in depth. Firstly, the general torque production mechanism of Vernier permanent magnet synchronous machines (VPMSMs) with surface mounted PMs are investigated based...
The paper investigates the near magnetic field performance of integrated CM and DM inductors. The reluctance model is developed for near magnetic field analysis. Based on the analysis, several integrated inductor structures using commercial EE/EI cores to achieve low near magnetic field emission are proposed. Simulations and experiments were conducted to verify the proposed inductor structures.
