Analysis of coupling between two sub‐machines in co‐axis dual‐mechanical‐port flux‐switching PM machine for fuel‐based extended range electric vehicles

Abstract

The permanent magnet (PM) field coupling between inner and outer machines of co-axis dual-mechanical-port fluxswitching PM (CADMP-FSPM) machines is investigated. Firstly, the relationships between the inner and outer stator teeth are analytically evaluated, with three key stator teeth types defined, i.e. series, parallel, and independent teeth. Secondly, the negative effects of PM field coupling, including high even-order electromotive force (EMF) harmonics, three-phase EMFs asymmetry and DC bias component in flux-linkages, are investigated and verified by two CADMP-FSPM machines, namely, 5/6-12/22, and 5/6-18/42 structures. It is found that for avoiding the negative effects of PM field coupling, all inner and outer stator teeth types should be the same, thus, a 10/12-12/22 structure CADMP-FSPM machine is introduced for analysis. Thirdly, the performance of the 10/12-12/22, 5/6-12/22, and 5/6-18/42 structures, featured by PM field distributions, d-axis flux-linkage ripples, cogging torques, electromagnetic torques, losses and efficiencies, are comparatively analysed by finite element (FE) analysis. The results indicate that the 10/12-12/22 structure exhibits the lowest PM field coupling level and the best performance. Moreover, the 10/12-12/22 structure can avoid all the negative effects of PM field couplings. A prototyped 10/12-12/22 CADMP-FSPM machine is built and tested to verify the FE predicted results.

Research on energy management strategies for in-wheel motor type extended range electric vehicles

“…In recent years, research on transmission system structure optimization [1] , powertrain parameter matching [2] , and control strategy development has gradually intensified, and how to streamline the chassis configuration of the incremental electric vehicle and reduce transmission losses has become an urgent problem nowadays [3] . Meanwhile, with the development of research on electronic differential speed of In-Wheel Motor (IWM) [4] , braking energy recovery [5] , and overall vehicle smoothness, this provides a basis for the application of wheel motors in extended range electric vehicles [6][7] configuration of range extender front in-wheel motor rear drive is selected, and the axle load distribution is reasonable; the in-wheel motor instead of centralized motor drive can expand the available space of the chassis; when driving uphill, the climbing ability is strong because the adhesion force on the rear wheels increases, and under specific working conditions the connection between the engine and generator is disconnected, and the engine directly transmits the power to the front axle, at which time the whole vehicle is transformed into four-wheel drive mode, and the power performance is In this case, the vehicle is transformed into four-wheel drive mode and the power is improved.…”

Design and performance analysis of various high torque segmented rotor HE‐FSM topologies for aircraft applications

“…Instead of PMs, field winding has been engaged in these types of motors to create flux linkage in the armature coil, henceforth, it decreases the cost and volume of PMs. Nevertheless, these machines face the problems of low torque density and efficiency because of less magnetic flux strengthening and high copper losses [28–30].…”
