| description | The rotor permanent magnet flux-switching (RPM-FS) machine is a promising candidate for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. In this paper, we propose the magnetic flux barrier design to improve the torque capability of the RPM-FS machine. The response surface optimization method was used to design and optimize the topology of flux barriers. The 2D finite element analysis shows that the proposed RPM-FS machine has a higher electromotive force than the conventional structure, with only a slight increase in cogging torque. Notably, an insertion of flux barriers could yield a reduction of magnetic flux leakage, an improvement of magnetic saturation capability, and an enhancement of working harmonics of the air-gap flux density. As a result, a significant improvement in torque capability, eddy current losses, and efficiency was obtained. Hence, the RPM-FS machine proposed in this work is capable of being used in EV and HEV applications. |
