Abstract

Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) motor is a relatively novel brushless machine having magnets and concentrated windings in the stator instead of the conventional rotor-PM topology, which exhibits inherently sinusoidal PM flux-linkage, back-EMF waveforms and high torque capability. However, since the airgap field is produced by the stator-magnets alone, it is difficult to be regulated. Hence, a hybrid excitation method, i.e., by introducing a set of field windings into FSPM motor is employed. In this paper, a novel hybrid excitation flux-switching (HEFS) motor is proposed, in which the airgap field can be easily controlled and is favorable for hybrid vehicles. The preliminary topology, operation principle, design and static characteristics including phase flux-linkage, back-EMF waveforms under different excitations as well as cogging torque are evaluated based on finite element (FE) analysis. The results confirm the excellent field-regulation capability of a ldquoproof-of-principlerdquo HEFS motor.
