Novel Partitioned Stator Switched Flux Permanent Magnet Machines

摘要

A novel switched flux permanent magnet (PM) machine with a partitioned stator structure is proposed, consisting of a conventional switched flux machine with the PMs removed from the stator teeth and placed on a secondary stator within a salient rotor. This novel machine harnesses two distinct synergies in machine design: magnetically geared and switched flux machines. The machine is optimized and the performance is compared with different numbers of rotor poles and validated by experiment. This machine benefits from reduced copper loss, improved torque density, and torque per magnetic volume, compared with conventional switched flux machines.
