This paper presents analysis and study of the single-phase transverse-flux machine. The finite element method results of the machine are compared with the laboratory measurements to confirm the accuracy of the computer model. This computer model is then used to investigate the effect of the machine’s geometry on its output characteristics. Parametric analysis of the machine is carried out to find the optimal air-gap diameter at which the cogging torque of the machine is minimal. In addition, the influence of the coil cross-section on the torque and output power characteristics of the machine is investigated and discussed.
Magnetic gears (MGs) offer many advantages over mechanical ones due to their contactless mechanism of torque transfer. With the flourish of this new avenue of research, a new breed of MGs has been designed that are well suited to execute high-torque direct-drive operations. This paper investigates the performance characteristic of a disk generator located on the same shaft with an MG for oceanic wave energy harvesting application. The permanent magnets (PMs) of both the generator and the MG are arranged in a special manner to boost the overall performance of the system. To verify the validity of the proposed model, simulations of the magnetic disk gears are performed using Maxwell version 16. The calculation of the magnetic field, and the characteristics of the generator is made using Infolytica Magnet software package. Furthermore, the prototype sample of the generator with the magnetic gear is fabricated and tested in the laboratory, which further substantiates our claim.INDEX TERMS Generator, magnetic gear, oceanic wave energy, permanent magnet, wave energy harvesting, torque density.
A numerical study of eight configurations of magnetic systems of electric motors with permanent magnets for driving a tram was carried out. The permanent magnet electric motor can be used as a high-speed electric drive to replace the existing DC electric drive of a tram, and as a low-speed gearless electric drive of a new generation tram. The most promising configurations of magnetic systems of electric motors with permanent magnets for tram drive have been determined. By varying the geometrical and winding parameters of each of the investigated models of electric motors, the mechanical characteristics are determined, at which the given torque and power are achieved in the entire range of the rotor speed. Also, a thermal calculation was performed taking into account the urban driving cycle of high-speed electric motors with air cooling by a fan and low-speed ones in liquid cooling mode. The calculation of the characteristics of the investigated electric motors was carried out in the Simcentre MotorSolve software package. References 13, figures 8, tables 3.
