Design and Optimization of a Novel Wound Field Synchronous Machine for Torque Performance Enhancement

This paper presents the design and optimization of a novel wound field synchronous machine topology, in which permanent magnets (PMs) are introduced into the rotor slot opening with segment configuration for high quality output torque performance. The rotor shape of the proposed PM-assisted wound fi...
