“…Figure 14a shows the basic structure of a coaxial magnetic gear. By simply integrating the coaxial magnetic gear into a PM motor [50], as shown in Figure 14b, LSLT operation can be obtained. As compared to traditional PM motors, the magnetic-geared in-wheel motor offers higher torque density and less cogging torque [51], hence being more suitable for the in-wheel drive system than other motor topologies.…”

Abstract:The paper presents a number of advanced solutions on electric machines and machine-based systems for the powertrain of electric vehicles (EVs). Two types of systems are considered, namely the drive systems designated to the EV propulsion and the power split devices utilized in the popular series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle architecture. After reviewing the main requirements for the electric drive systems, the paper illustrates advanced electric machine topologies, including a stator permanent magnet (stator-PM) motor, a hybrid-excitation motor, a flux memory motor and a redundant motor structure. Then, it illustrates advanced electric drive systems, such as the magnetic-geared in-wheel drive and the integrated starter generator (ISG). Finally, three machine-based implementations of the power split devices are expounded, built up around the dual-rotor PM machine, the dual-stator PM brushless machine and the magnetic-geared dual-rotor machine. As a conclusion, the development trends in the field of electric machines and machine-based systems for EVs are summarized.

“…According to the number of air gaps, the existing MGPM machines can be classified as three viable topologies as shown in Figure 12. Relatively speaking, the concept of the three-airgap MGPM machine (Figure 12(a)) is so straightforward that it was proposed first, and its characteristics have been extensively studied [46,47]. In essence, the three-airgap topology is a simple combination of an outer-rotor PM machine with a CMG, in which the interaction of magnetic field distributions between the embedded PM machine and the outer gear is insignificant.…”

“…For a fair comparison, the overall outside diameter, axial length and airgap length of the three MGPM machines are the same, which are actually the dimensions of the three-airgap MGPM machine designed in [46]. Meanwhile, the results presented in this section are based on the optimal design of individual MGPM machines by using the FEA.…”

Abstract-With the advent of magnetic gears, researchers have developed a new breed of permanent-magnet machines. These magnetic-geared permanent-magnet machines artfully incorporate the concept of magnetic gearing into the permanent-magnet machines, leading to achieve low-speed high-torque direct-drive operation. In this paper, a quantitative comparison of three viable magnetic-geared permanent-magnet machines is firstly performed, hence revealing their key features, merits, demerits and applications.Initially, the development of the magnetic gears, including the converted topologies and field-modulated topologies, is reviewed. Then, three viable magnetic-geared permanent-magnet machines are identified and discussed. Consequently, the corresponding performances are analyzed and quantitatively compared. The results and discussions form an important foundation for research in low-speed high-torque direct-drive systems.

“…1, due to low speed high torque characteristic. MG machines can be potentially applied to electric vehicles (EVs) [21], hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) [22], and wind turbines [23], [24], as well as high performance motion control applications [25]. For the magnetic gear with two rotating PM bodies whilst the iron pieces are static as analyzed in [14] and [15], the MG machine analyzed in [18] can be obtained by displacing one rotating PM body using an equivalent armature winding stator, as shown in Fig.…”

It is found that a SPM type machine is recommended, since both PS-FRPM and MG machines operating in SPM modes have a higher phase back-EMF and hence torque than their RPM counterparts, respectively, as a result of a similar phase flux-linkage but a higher electric frequency since the iron piece number is larger than the PM pole-pair number. Moreover, a smaller gear ratio machine is preferred from the perspective of a higher power factor and hence a lower inverter power rating, as the conventional MG machines with higher gear ratios suffer from larger fluxleakage, higher synchronous reactance and hence lower power factors, as well as higher iron losses, than the PS-FRPM machines. However, higher gear ratio machines feature lower cogging torques and torque ripples due to the smaller difference between the PM pole-pair number and iron piece number. Both prototypes of PS-FRPM machine operating in SPM mode and MG machine operating in RPM mode are built and tested to verify the FE predicted results.Index Terms-Flux modulated machine, flux reversal, magnetically geared (MG) machine, partitioned stator, permanent magnet (PM), power factor, rotor-permanent magnet, stator-permanent magnet.
