Wound field flux switching machine (WFFSM) showcases attractive features such as a robust rotor structure, variable field operation capability, and no risk of demagnetization. The WFFSM also provides an integrated stator structure that accommodates both field and armature windings, while the rotor does not require windings or magnets. However, havi...
Wound-field flux-switching (WFFS) machines have both field and armature windings in the stator, eliminating the need for permanent magnets in the rotor. This leads to a simple and robust electric machine design with variable flux operation capability. However, it is important to note that these two sets of windings (i.e., field and armature) need t...
View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-3306.vid The electrification of commercial aircraft propulsion requires the development of megawatt-class electrical machines possessing high power density, high efficiency, and effective cooling. These demands are explored in this presentation of a megawatt-class surface permanent magnet (SPM...
Gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has a lateral device structure with wafer-level packaging, which is advantageous in minimizing parasitic parameters and overall device size. This type of packaging also has better thermal performance than the conventional packaging due to low junction-to-bottom thermal resistances. It i...
This paper presents a novel perspective to understand different winding configurations of flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines. A simple analytical method is used for the calculation of total offset angle of flux linkages by taking into account an offset angle of stator slot and rotor poles. The closed-form solution is presented to find...
The axial overhang of the permanent magnet (PM) has widely been used to enhance the thrust per loss, particularly in air-core structure where the radial flux density is low. This communication investigates PM overhang effects in coreless-type PM linear machines. To analyze the structure where the magnet length exceeds the active length of the mover...
The objective of this paper is to investigate the design and optimization of a novel dual-rotor hybrid permanent magnet (DR-HPM) machine for traction application. The proposed dual-rotor hybrid synchronous PM machine synthesizes the synchronous reluctance (SyR) and surface permanent magnet (SPM) rotors into a single machine with the common shaft by...
Forced induction uses otherwise wasted exhaust gases to improve the volumetric efficiency of an engine allowing for higher thermodynamic efficiency. As the fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards are projected to be much more stringent globally, the use of a forced induction engine in passenger cars and light duty trucks has become a new...
The purpose of this research is to propose a novel concept of a high-speed electric machine system with integrated airfoil-shaped rotor designed to perform axial-flow compression for vehicle applications. The proposed high-speed machine is both a motor for electromagnetic energy conversion and an axial-flow compressor for thermodynamic energy conve...
Flux switching permanent magnet machines provide many advantages. Due to their superior behavior associated with sinusoidal Back-EMF and low torque ripple, topologies featuring 12 stator teeth and 10 rotor poles (12/10) are favored. However, this follows that for a given mechanical rotor speed, the required electric fundamental frequency is ten tim...
The goal of this paper is to propose a novel concept of permanent magnet machine with integrated airfoil-shaped rotor that can perform compression action. Electrically driven conventional compressor systems need electric machines as prime movers to provide mechanical energy to rotate the compressor. The proposed novel integrated permanent magnet ma...

High-speed machines are gaining interest, especially in traction applications because of their ability to produce high power density with a reduced size. Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines are ideal for such applications since they have a simple rotor structure that can operate at very high speeds and utilize PM in the stator to achiev...

The proposed dual-stator 6/4 FSPM machine topology eliminates even-order harmonics in the flux linkage and back-electromotive force, which exist in the conventional single-stator single-rotor t...
Flux switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines are innovative brushless machines that have magnets built into the stator instead of the rotor.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel dual-stator six stator slots four rotor poles flux switching permanent magnet machine that is viable for operation. The conventional six slots four poles topology suffers from asymmetrical flux linkage and severely unbalanced back-EMF, which makes it unfeasible. The proposed dual-stator structure ut...
The high-speed machine design is becoming important due to advantages such as high-power density and small size. Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines have a simple rotor design without any windings or PMs, which makes them apt for high-speed operation.

A modeling approach is presented that enables the 3-D field external to a complicated magnetic source to be reproduced using an equivalent fictitious magnetic charge sheet. It is shown that the value of the equivalent magnetic charge sheet can be determined from the normal component of the magnetic source. The field distribution due to a cylindrica...
When a magnetic rotor is simultaneously rotated and translationally moved above an aluminum guideway a traveling time-varying magnetic field is created in the air-gap. This field induces eddy currents in the guideway that can simultaneously create suspension and propulsion or braking forces. The transient fields and the forces created by this movin...
