“…To meet the high power density requirement, designs with high contribution of reluctance torque, as well as flux concentration effect, such as Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) with U-shape [10], [11], V shape [12], LC shape [13], and spoke magnet topologies [7], [8], [14], [15], and [16] can be employed; furthermore, few high torque density dual stator topologies and axial flux designs have been reported [17], [18]. To meet the demagnetization resistance criterion several approaches can be followed, such as: a) burying the magnets deep in the rotor, while tapering the flux barriers toward the airgap [10], or extending the rotor pole tips to bypass the demagnetization field [8], b) reducing the number of turns and thickening the magnets in the direction of magnetization [7], [8], c) increasing the end winding leakage ratio by shortening the stack length and increasing the magnetic saturation, [19], and d) applying analytical techniques to diagnose and prevent demagnetization during the motor operation [20]. In terms of the stator windings, both distributed configuration [7], [8], and a concentrated type [14], [15] can be employed.…”
