“…The use of a multiobjective genetic algorithm is a novel approach in transverse flux machines design-for example, in [28] a single weighted function is used instead-. Some results are shown in Table 6: Designs 1-4 correspond to by-hand designs, whereas Designs 10 and 11 are two Pareto optimals.…”

“…A generic (with no specific application) FEM-designed TFM is proposed in [27], varying geometric parameters and current. An evolutionary algorithm is introduced in [28] to optimize a TFM with no PMs (reluctance machine in auto-piloted mode), coupling the algorithm with a 3D-FEM model and making prototypes. Sizing equations, MEC, and FEM verification are used in [29], but the proposed transverse flux topology has a sectorial phase arrangement instead of the more common stacking arrangement.…”

Analytical Optimal Design of a Two-Phase Axial-Gap Transverse Flux Motor

Transverse flux motors (TFMs) are being investigated to be used in vehicle traction applications due to their high torque density. In this paper, a two-phase axial-gap transverse flux motor is designed for an electric scooter, proposing a novel analytical design method. First, the dimensioning equations of the motor are obtained based on the vehicle requirements, and the stationary dq model is calculated. Then, the motor is optimized using a multiobjective genetic algorithm, and finally a 3D-FEM verification is made. Both the motor structure and the design method aim to have a low complexity, in order to favor the sizing and manufacturing processes through a low computation time and simple core shapes. This approach has not yet been explored in axial-gap TFMs.

“…Most of TFMs are excited by PMs, but it could be equally possible to have an electrically-excited TFM [21], a reluctance TFM with no magnets [102] and even a hybrid excitation (PMs and field winding) [50,53]. TFMs mostly have PMs on the rotor, but they can also be placed on the stator, or even both on the stator and rotor [103][104][105].…”

“…A switched reluctance generator with an integrated rotor that consists of main and PM auxiliary poles is investigated in [112]: this TFM is suggested for wind power generation due to their low cost and simple structure. A synchronous reluctance TFM is proposed in [102] with no PMs. Besides, in [5][6][7][8], several flux-switching TFMs are designed.…”

A Review of Transverse Flux Machines Topologies and Design

2021

High torque and power density are unique merits of transverse flux machines (TFMs). TFMs are particularly suitable for use in direct-drive systems, that is, those power systems with no gearbox between the electric machine and the prime mover or load. Variable speed wind turbines and in-wheel traction seem to be great-potential applications for TFMs. Nevertheless, the cogging torque, efficiency, power factor and manufacturing of TFMs should still be improved. In this paper, a comprehensive review of TFMs topologies and design is made, dealing with TFM applications, topologies, operation, design and modeling.
