“…Tooth Contour Method presented in [15,16] combines magnetic equivalent circuit method with conformal mapping for flux-switching PM machine analysis. A similar approach was used for synchronous reluctance machine with circular flux barriers in [17] and for synchronous wound field machine in [18]. An iterative method for machines with saturated iron that combines the conformal mapping and magnetic equivalent circuits is presented in [19,20].…”
Air gap field solution for an outer rotor permanent magnet (PM) machine is derived based on numerical Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) transformation of a single slot geometry and analytical solution of a point wire field in the rectangular canonical domain. This approach takes into account geometrical distortions of PM edges and field evaluation points located along the air gap centre, which occur due to conformal mapping of the slotted air gap into a slotless domain and impair the accuracy of the existing analytical field solutions using SC transformation and complex relative air gap permeance. The increased accuracy of the improved solution is confirmed by comparing the air gap flux density waveforms produced by the PMs and armature winding, cogging torque, and total torque with the results of time-stepping transient finite element simulation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
