Nowadays, in-wheel motors applied in pure electric vehicles (EVs) propulsion systems have attracted great attention in advance research and development. In-wheel direct drive provides quick torque response, higher efficiency, weight reduction, and increased vehicle space. As one of alternative, a new design of outer-rotor hybrid excitation flux switching motor (ORHEFSM) for in-wheel drive EV is proposed. In this paper, the optimization design of single-phase 8S-8P outer rotor HEFSM is analysed. Open and close circuit of initial and final design is compared based on 2-D finite element analysis (FEA). The design optimization has been made on the initial design machine shows that there is great enhancement on torque and power.

This paper addresses the irreversible permanent magnet (PM) demagnetization analysis of hybrid excitation flux switching motor (HEFSM) with outer-rotor configuration. PM demagnetization cause the PM strength used in the motor significantly reduces and hence contributes less torque performance. The study is focused on thermal analysis and conducted at various temperature up to as high as 180 degrees Celsius which has a tendency to be demagnetized. Therefore, PM demagnetization is among a critical issue and influences the choice of the applied motor. The analysis is carried out based on finite element method (FEM) and percentage of PM demagnetization is then calculated. Finally, based on simulated and calculated results the final design outer-rotor HEFSM has only 0.85 percent PM demagnetization at very high temperature and obviously the is no PM demagnetization at normal operating conditions.
