The paper discuses characteristics of an axial-flux permanent-magnet generator for a gearless wind energy system which aims to be satisfied with variable operating conditions. Design and construction of an axial-flux permanent- magnet generator with power output at 60[Hz], 300[r/min] for wind energy system is introduced. Finite-element method (FEM) is applied to analyze generator performance at variable load. The results of FE analysis show this generator Is feasible for use with a wind turbine.

The permanent magnet(PM) overhang effect has been generally used to enhance the linkage flux in the motor. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the PM overhang effect in the new type axial flux permanent magnet(AFPM) motor with a double-sided airgap. The motor performances such as linkage flux, back electromotive force(EMF), magnetic force, etc. were analyzed according to the variation of the overhang angle. From the results, we can select the proper overhang angle of PM which improves the performance of the AFPM motor.

This paper presents the modeling and position-sensorless vector control of a dual-airgap axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine optimized for use in flywheel energy storage system (FESS) applications. The proposed AFPM machine has two sets of three-phase stator windings but requires only a single power converter to control both the electromagnetic torque and the axial levitation force. The proper controllability of the latter is crucial as it can be utilized to minimize the vertical bearing stress to improve the efficiency of the FESS. The method for controlling both the speed and axial displacement of the machine is discussed. An inherent speed sensorless observer is also proposed for speed estimation. The proposed observer eliminates the rotary encoder, which in turn reduces the overall weight and cost of the system while improving its reliability. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme has been verified by simulations and experiments on a prototype machine.

This paper deals with optimum design of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) for automotive component. For a compact system structure, it was designed as a motor with a 14-pole 12-slot concentrated winding and hollow shaft. The motor is a thin type structure which stator outer diameter is relatively large compared to its axial length and is designed to have a high magnetic saturation for increasing the torque density. Since the high magnetic saturation in the stator core increases the axial leakage flux, a 3-dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis (FEA) is indispensable for torque analysis. However, optimum designs using 3-D FEA is inefficient in terms of time and cost. Therefore, equivalent 2-D FEA which is able to consider axial leakage flux is applied to the optimization to overcome the disadvantages of 3-D FEA. The structure for cost reduction is proposed and optimum design using equivalent 2-D FEA has been performed.

본 논문에서는 전기 자동차 응용을 위해 연자성 분말 코어가 있는 새로운 축방향 자속 영구자석 모터를 제안한다. 권선 및 연자성 분말 코어는 매우 조밀한 구조를 형성하도록 설계할 수 있으므로 토크 밀도를 크게 향상시킨다. 우수한 자속 집중 능력을 얻기 위해 두 대의 토로이드형 내부 고정자형 모터가 설계 및 분석되었으며, 설계된 모터에는 고성능 전기자동차 애플리케이션 적용을 위해 네오디움 자석이 사용되었다. 3차원 유한 요소 방법은 전자기 매개변수 및 성능을 분석하는 데 사용되었으며, 성능 비교를 위해 상용 축방향 자속 영구자석 모터가 사용되었다. 제안된 모터는 기존 구동모터에 비해 약 5.8% 무게가 가벼워지고 약 8Nm 정도 높은 토크를 생성하였다.

This paper proposed a method to reduce torque ripple of double-layer axial flux permanent magnet motor. Torque is generated by interacting between current of stator winding and airgap flux. In the case of slotless axial flux permanent magnet motor, only commutation torque component is significant. Hence, cogging and reluctance torque will not be considered. For this propose, we were supplied differential phase current in each winding and shifted rotor magnet. According to shifted rotor magnet and flux and phase of current were shifted, phase of developed torque in each side is difference. As a result, we could reduce the total torque ripple in motor and obtain minimum torque ripple in the case of 7.5 degree shifting angle between two rotors.

The torque and unbalanced magnetic forces in permanent magnet machines are resultants of the tangential, axial and normal magnetic forces, respectively. Those are in general influenced by pole-teeth-winding configuration. A study of the torque and unbalanced magnetic forces of a small flux concentrating permanent magnet transverse flux machine (FCPM-TFM) in segmented compact structure is presented in this paper. By using FLUX3D software from Cedrat, Maxwell stress tensor has been solved. Finite element (FE-) magneto static study followed by transient analysis has been conducted to investigate the influence of unsymmetrical winding pattern, in respect to the rotor, on the performance of the FCPM-TFM. Calculating the magnetic field components in the air gap has required an introduction of a 2D grid in the middle of the air gap, whereby good estimations of the forces are obtained. In this machine, the axial magnetic forces reveal relatively higher amplitudes compared to the normal forces. Practical results of a prototype motor are demonstrated through the analysis.

This paper presents the overhang effects of a novel axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine, which consist of the segmented stator and fractioned slot windings, with one rotor and double stator. In addition, the overhang effect of permanent magnet of the motor has been analyzed quantitatively. The overhang is used to enhance the force density in permanent magnet machine. According to the variation of overhang length, the flux density distribution and torque are quantitatively compared. For these analysis, three dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) has been used in this paper. From the results, the proper overhang length of PM is selected to improve the performance of the AFPM machine.

In this paper, model of the axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG) having arc-shaped trapezoidal permanent magnets (PM) is presented. The proposed model reduces the cogging torque and torque ripple, at the expense of lowering the average output torque. Optimization of the proposed model is performed by considering the asymmetric overhang configuration of the PMs, as to make the output torque of the proposed model competitive with the conventional model. The time stepped 3D finite element analysis (FEA) is performed for the comparative analysis. It is demonstrated that the torque ripple of the optimized model is highly reduced as well as average output torque is increased.
