Transverse flux machine(TFM) has been developed to drive a machine of large input power at low-speed. However, it has complicated structure and large torque ripple due to its inherent structure. In this paper the characteristics of torque of a rotatory two-phase TFM are analyzed by using the 3-dimensional finite element method and optimal design. This research shows that one of the effective design variables is the skew angle of permanent magnet. The skew angles of permanent magnet are optimized by using a genetic algorithm. It also shows that the proposed optimal skew magnet not only increases average torque but also decreases torque ripple of a rotatory two-phase TFM.

By enforcing skew of permanent magnet, detent force decreases, but lateral force that acts for vertical direction of moving direction occurs. This force deteriorates various performance of PMLSM as that acts to friction force between mover and LM guide. Therefore, in this paper, V skew model is proposed for lateral force's reduction and simulation results are compared to experimental value.

The problem in improving the positioning precision of a Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) is the detent force caused by the interaction of the magnets with the teeth of stator. This paper presents 3-Dimensional Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method (3-D EMCN) for the analysis of PMLSM. 3-D EMCN is a numerical analysis method which supplements magnetic equivalent circuit by using numerical technique. We analyzed the fields and forces of PMLSM in case of skewed magnet and axially segmented magnet construction.

This paper presents the characteristics of PM eddy current loss and harmonic iron loss for PM step-skewed Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) with concentrated windings and multi-layered PM under the running condition of maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux-weakening control. In particular, PM eddy current loss and harmonic iron loss in IPMSM have been numerically computed with three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), whereby IPMSM with concentrated windings and multi-layered PM has been designed to identify the optimized skew angle contributing to the reduced PM eddy current loss and torque ripples, while maintaining the required average torque. Furthermore, numerical investigation on PM eddy current loss and iron loss at MTPA and flux-weakening control has been carried-out in terms of PM step-skew.

The small wind turbines has the merits of setting up with low costs by individuals, and get the energy saving effects that, it has the secured, separate markets from the big range systems, and the developing of it is continuously proceeding. The objective of this paper is to provide the design characteristics analysis of a permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) skewed for magnet of rotor, the main advantage to be explored with the use of a split core design is the reduction in manufacturing costs and its simplicity in manufacture, compared to the manufacturing costs of a core skew PM machine. This thesis is aiming mainly analyzing the characteristics of the prototype to verify through Finite Element Method(FEM) and tests.

In this paper, we proposed how the V-skew applied of the rotor to inprove the characteristics of cogging torque in large PMSM. Large PMSM is difficult to apply a pitch of the diagonal magnetic skew because of the motor's structure and making. In addition, the force in the direction of z-axis occurs when the diagonal skew is applied. So we are applying the optimal v-skew to reduce torque ripple and cogging torque because this reduces the noise and vivration on the motor. Throug FEM dD analysis, we studied to find the optimal v-skew angle for reducing torque ripple.

In this paper, the notch of teeth, the shape changing and skew of permanent magnet are used to reduce the detent force. And addition, overhang of permanent magnet is applied to increase thrust because thrust is decreased by skew. As the results, detent force is decrease greatly about 98(%). And, the ripple ratio of thrust is decreased from 11.34(%) to 0.25(%).

This paper presents an improved iron loss model, for the computation of the no load iron loss in the stator core of the in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), for the cases of with and without stator skew. 2-D analytical model is used for the computation of tooth and yoke flux densities of the in-wheel PMSM. The no load iron loss computed by the improved iron loss model, for the cases of with and without skew is compared with the finite element method (FEM) and the results show good consistency.

The design of SPMSM(surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor) has been performed to reduce cogging torque and torque ripples. In general, cogging torque and torque ripples are affected by the shapes of teeth width, yoke depth, magnet pole arc, etc. Particularly, the minimum design point of cogging torque and torque ripples are different so that the design of SPMSM should be done to compromise both of them for precision application. In this paper, the design of PMSM for EPS(electric power steering) system is performed to verify the validity, and the design characteristics versus teeth width, yoke depth, and magnet pole arc are investigated in order to find out the minimum point of cogging torque and torque ripples. In addition, skew of PM is applied for cogging torque reduction.
