To produce an ultralightweight machine for electric aircrafts, we propose a machine in which electrical energy is converted between the stator and the rotor via magnetic resonance coupling (MRC). This action causes electromagnetic resonance between the multiphase windings of the stator and the cage bars of the rotor. Electromagnetic resonance coupling technology allows electrical machines to convert...
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...
Axial flux machines (AFMs) are used in applications that require high power and torque densities in a pancake-type form factor. There are various types of AFMs based on the configuration of the rotor/stator and permanent magnet (PM) orientation. Most AFMs employ surface permanent magnet machines and as the result, the machine has low inductance and saliency. In this paper, an axial flux machine with...
Classical induction machine design generally focuses on achieving high steady state efficiency. In contrast, automotive applications consist of almost continuous transients, where the flux linkage is varied along the driving cycle to save energy. With conventional induction machines designed for high steady state efficiency, higher peak current and excessive machine losses can occur during the transient...
In this paper an axial flux magnetic gear (AFMG) is proposed that has an integrated outer stator. This axial flux magnetically geared motor (AFMGM) is unique in that the stator shares the high-speed rotor with the AFMG, so there is no need for a separate rotor. The high speed and low speed rotors use a flux-focusing typology. The stator is mounted outside the AFMG and this makes the design mechanically...
Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) have been used in many applications due to their outstanding advantages such as high torque/power density, high efficiency, light weight and good reliability. However the emerging field of electrical traction gave arise to issues which were in general hardly considered in the past Yet, even though well established methods for eDrive control are available,...
Interior permanent magnet synchronous machine drives are widely employed in electric traction systems and various industrial processes. However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures while operating can demagnetize the permanent magnets to the point of irreversible demagnetization. In addition, direct measurements with infrared sensors or contact-types sensors with wireless communication can be...
Wound rotor synchronous machines have gained popularity as an alternative to permanent magnet synchronous machines and methods to improve the efficiency of these machines are continuously sought after. At the same time, non-overlap windings have gathered ground because of its associated lower cost and good torque density. However, non-overlap windings are also characterized by relatively high sub...
This paper describes a simple design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) that is suitable for real-time applications and uses novel output membership functions, which do not include overlap. This increases controller rate speed convergence, allows for a significant reduction in computational burden, and lowers the execution time. A digital signal processor board is used to implement the FLC based Field...
This paper proposes a new intelligent control for an indirect vector controlled induction motor drive for high performance, based on a finite element controller map. The traditional basic conventional algorithm (PI controller) has been successfully used to obtain decoupling control between the rotor flux and the torque. The basic PI has fixed gains that cannot be increased beyond certain limits. In...
This paper proposes a novel flux-reversal hybrid magnet memory machine (FR-HMMM), which is geometrically characterized by consequent-pole hybrid magnets mounted on the stator poles. The low-coercive-force (LCF) permanent magnets (PMs) are alternately placed between the adjacent stator slots, while the rare-earth NdFeB PMs are located on the center of stator pole. Due to the consequent pole configuration,...
In the industrial field, the drive system integrated the high speed motor and the gear is required to effectively utilize the limited space. However, mechanical gears often require their lubrication and cooling, they generate whilst noise and vibration. To overcome these problems, the magnetic gears have been expected. Magnetic gears achieve the system with maintenance-free, low noise and low vibration...
Vernier permanent magnet synchronous machine (VPMSM) is a promising candidate for low speed direct-drive applications. At the design stage of VPMSMs, one of the key issues is the selection of the slot/pole number combination. This paper will show that a proper selection of the slot/pole number combination can be achieved based on an index parameter of VPMSMs: the gear ratio. Firstly, the magnetic...
This paper presents analysis of cogging torque and torque ripple according to unevenly magnetized magnet patterns in permanent magnet synchronous motor. In previous studies it has confirmed that non-uniformly magnetized permanent magnet causes unexpected increase of cogging torque and torque ripple because of slot harmonic components. However, these studies investigated insufficient number of irregular...

The proposed improved HCS MPPT strategy is developed based on the electrical power which is generated by the stator. The peak detection capability has been devised...
In this paper, the stator/rotor pole combinations in variable flux reluctance machines (VFRMs) are investigated from the prospect of magnetic gearing effect. Firstly, the magnetic gearing effect in the torque production of VFRMs is revealed from an analytical model. Based on this, the principles of feasible stator/rotor pole selection and corresponding winding configuration are analyzed. Then, the...

Torque density has been improved adopting outer rotor topology and lightweight materials. An ironless rotor with PMs placed in an Halbach array configuration allows reduced rotor inertia to be obtained. The results described in the paper provide a quantitative assessment...
The demand for increased power and improved fuel economy are driving changes in alternator technology for automotive applications. To meet these demands requires a machine with capabilities of torque assist, regenerative braking, and power generation to supply vehicle loads while keeping the battery charged. Furthermore, to minimize add-on cost, the system must be air-cooled and operate at 12V with...
Since the vernier machine (VM) is a flux modulation machine that also operates simultaneously as a synchronous machine, the torque producing mechanism of this device is difficult to understand. This paper begins with an analytical study of a synchronous permanent magnet (PM) machine, where the back-emf and torque are derived based on a generic number of slots per pole per phase stator. Numerical comparison...
