Optimum Design Of Axial Flux Pm Machines Based On Electromagnetic 3d Fea, Narges Taran
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines have recently attracted significant attention due to several reasons, such as their specific form factor, potentially higher torque density and lower losses, feasibility of increasing the number of poles, and facilitating innovative machine structures for emerging applications. One such machine design, which has promising, high efficiency particularly at higher speeds, is of the coreless AFPM type and has been studied in the dissertation together with more conventional AFPM topologies that employ a ferromagnetic core.
A challenge in designing coreless AFPM machines is estimating the eddy current losses. This work proposes a new hybrid analytical …
