Abstract
As one type of flux modulation machines, flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines present high sensitivity to airgap structures. Therefore, both stator/rotor teeth and slot/pole combinations have significant influences on machine performance. However, the relationships between the optimal stator structure and maximum torque capability of the FSPM machine are barely investigated. Therefore, this paper is devoted to proposing a directional stator permeance design approach to achieve the maximum torque of the FSPM machines under a given rotor, and reveal the corresponding stator structure. First, the relations between torque and air-gap permeance are presented based on a constructed torque contribution equation, where amplitudes and phase angles of the stator permeance harmonics are determined. Then, main permeance harmonics are directionally optimized to enlarge positive torque, while negative contributions are inversed to be positive. Especially, two FSPMs with 6-slot/19-pole and 6-slot/13-pole are chosen as design examples, and their optimal design processes and torque performances have been deeply analyzed, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.
