“…), MS-AFPMGs (mainly iron-cored machines) have been used in small-power applications where the machine radial dimension is constrained and high torque density is expected, e.g. ship propulsion (Caricchi, Crescimbini, and Honorati 1999), automobile (Javadi and Mirsalim 2008), plan landing gear (Dumas, Enrici, and Matt 2012), and small wind turbine (Gerlando et al 2011). Interests in MW and multi-MW ironless MS-AFPMGs for wind power application have emerged (Kobayashi et al 2009, McDonald, Benatmane, and Mueller 2011, Zhang et al 2013, because of low supporting structure weight, modularity, and fault tolerance.…”
