The Axial-Flux PMDC Motor The Axial-Flux PMDC Motor Sometime in the mid- to late ‘70s, a gangly young man who’d left school at around age 6 had some interesting ideas about how to build an electric motor… something he’d been fascinated with since picking up a children’s science book describing how to build a motor with a cork and a needle. winding coils around them, strapping it all together He tested out this idea by flattening out tin cans, design, and cobbling it into what was essentially a plywoodin what amounted framed go-cart to a unique for a competition “axial flux” motor hosted by the UK’s Battery Electric Vehicle Association in 1983.

  • The Design of a Permanent Magnet In-Wheel Motor with Dual-Stator and Dual-Field-Excitation Used in Electric Vehicles
    energies Article The Design of a Permanent Magnet In-Wheel Motor with Dual-Stator and Dual-Field-Excitation Used in Electric Vehicles Peng Gao *, Yuxi Gu and Xiaoyuan Wang School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Tianjin University, No. 92 Weijin Road, Tianjin 300072, China; [email protected] (Y.G.); [email protected] (X.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-022-2740-6705 Received: 15 January 2018; Accepted: 8 February 2018; Published: 12 February 2018 Abstract: The in-wheel motor has received more attention owing to its simple structure, high transmission efficiency, flexible control, and easy integration design. It is difficult to achieve high performance with conventional motors due to their dimensions and structure. This paper presents a new dual-stator and dual-field-excitation permanent-magnet in-wheel motor (DDPMIM) that is based on the structure of the conventional in-wheel motor and the structure of both the radial and axial magnetic field motor. The finite element analysis (FEA) model of the DDPMIM is established and compared with that of the conventional in-wheel motor. The results show that the DDPMIM achieves a higher output torque at low speeds and that the flux-weakening control strategy is not needed in the full speed range.

Introduction Electric vehicles (EVs) will soon become a common mode of transport. Electric motors used in EVs have to satisfy many requirements: (1) a high power density and a high torque density; (2) a high output torque at low speeds and a high power output at high speeds; (3) an ability to operate within a wide range of speed in a highly efficient manner; (4) high reliability; and (5) low cost [1].

The shape of the magnets of the machine was optimized and presented in a previous paper and a prototype was constructed and tested in the laboratory. In addition, a temperature test of the stator was performed experimentally. Finally, the effect of the different axial widths of the two air gaps on the electrical magnitudes and the field of the machine were investigated using both FEM analysis and experiments.

While the electrical components are all isolated from the user and covered by various insulations, it is still possible to come into contact with potential lethal amounts of current. The designer and builders of this car have taken great measures to ensure this will not happen, but nothing is fool proof. This being said, no changes should be made to the system without training in electrical safety and a thorough understanding of the overall system. The following include the steps that should be undertaken to begin driving the vehicle. Only one person may occupy the vehicle at any given time, hence the reason there is only one seat, however it should be noted that at least three individuals will be required to ensure safest operation of the vehicle. 1. Place blocks or stops in front and behind one of the wheels to ensure the vehicle does not move while interacting with the bottom shell. 2. Un-latch and lift the top carbon fiber shell from the vehicle and secure the top with the mounted poles in the vehicle.

  • And Radial-Flux Out-Runner Vernier Permanent Magnet Motor /Author
    MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC RESEARCH LABORATORIES https://www.merl.com High-Torque Direct-Drive Machine with Combined Axial- and Radial-flux Out-runner Vernier Permanent Magnet Motor Zhou, Lei; Guo, Feng; Wang, Hongyu; Wang, Bingnan TR2021-050 May 18, 2021 Abstract This paper presents the design, modeling, and simulation for a novel type of high-torque motor, targeting various direct-drive applications, such as robotic actuator, precision motion rotatry stages, and in-wheel drive for electrical vehicles. The key idea of the motor design is to use a combination of (a) combined axial- and radial-flux electric machine and (b) Vernier permanent magnet (VPM) motor. Such combination effectively increases the torque genera- tion capability for the proposed motor, and makes it attractive for direct-drive applications. Analytical model for the motor’s performance is derived and is validated using finite element method (FEM), and is used for optimizing the motor design parameters. Motor’s losses and efficiency are evaluated by finite element simulations for various magnetic material selections. The mechanical design for the motor is also discussed. The simulation result of the proposed motor demonstrates a 1.5x torque improvement compared with a baseline off-she-shelf direct- drive machine of the same size. The comparison shows that the proposed design is promising for the next-generation high-torque direct-drive motors. International Electric Machine & Drives Conference (IEMDC) c 2021 MERL.

  • Dynamic DC-Link Voltage Adjustment for Electric Vehicles Considering the Cross Saturation Effects
    energies Article Dynamic DC-link Voltage Adjustment for Electric Vehicles Considering the Cross Saturation Effects Huimin Li, Shoudao Huang, Derong Luo *, Jian Gao and Peng Fan College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (S.H.); [email protected] (J.G.); [email protected] (P.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0731-8882-2461 Received: 4 July 2018; Accepted: 3 August 2018; Published: 7 August 2018 Abstract: The demands of remarkable reliability and high power density of traction systems are becoming more and more rigorous. The conflicting requirements imposed on the control strategy are higher accuracy and higher efficiency over the whole speed range. However, parameter variations caused by the cross coupling and magnetic saturation effect (omitted from the cross saturation effects in the following) are usually neglected in conventional control strategies, which could reduce the control precision. In order to fully consider the influence of parameter changes on the motor control and derive an approach that could realize the maximum efficiency during the whole speed range, this paper proposes a dynamic DC-link voltage adjustment strategy considering the cross coupling and magnetic saturation effects. The strategy can be categorized into three parts. Firstly, the torque request is transformed to the optimal current reference signal. Secondly, the differences between the setpoint and the real-time feedback signals of torque and voltage can be applied in the linearized function in the did,q coordinate. The solution guides the current vector into the optimal direction under the current and voltage limits to ensure the safety and reliability of the motor.

    Review of Generator Systems for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines D. Bang, H. Polinder, G. Shrestha, J.A. Ferreira Electrical Power Processing / DUWIND Delft University of Technology Mekelweg 4, 2628 CD Delft The Netherlands Phone: +31 (0)15 27 85791, Fax: +31 (0)15 27 82968 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract- The objective of this paper is to review direct-drive and geared generator systems and to identify suitable generator concepts for direct-drive wind turbines. The comparison of different generator systems in literature is discussed with the criteria based on the energy yield, cost, and weight. Different promising permanent-magnet (PM) machines proposed in literature are also discussed to find suitable generator type, because direct-drive PM machines are more superior in terms of the energy yield, reliability and maintenance problem. Finally, suitable concepts to overcome the disadvantages of direct-drive are suggested considering both electromagnetic and mechanical structure. I. INTRODUCTION Various wind turbine concepts have been developed and built to maximize the energy harnessed, to minimize the cost, and to improve the power quality during the last two decades. Such turbine concepts can be classified with a view to the rotational speed, the power regulation, and the generator system. When considering the construction of the generator system, the turbines can be classified into the direct-drive and the geared concepts. When focusing on the generator type, the generator system can be classified into the electrically excited (EE) machine and the permanent magnet (PM) machine. The comparisons of different generator systems for wind turbines have been proposed in a number of literatures.

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap.
