Field excitation flux switching machines (FEFSMs) in which their torque performance produced by interaction between armature and field excitation (FE) coils have been widely designed for various applications. In this regard, three-phase salient rotor FEFSM with overlap windings is considered the most suitable candidate for high speed applications because of their advantages of flux controllability, and robust due to single piece of rotor structure. However, the overlap windings cause a high copper loss, hence efficiency of the motor becomes low and higher stack length. Besides, the salient rotor structure is found to produce low torque performance due to the longer flux path in stator and rotor yielding weak flux linkage. In this paper, a new single-phase FEFSM using non-overlap windings between armature coils and FE coils is proposed. Both non-overlap windings FEFSMs with salient and segmental rotors have been designed using JMAG Designer version 15 and the investigation process is conducted via 2D finite element analysis. The proposed motor performances verification has been done by comparing the results of flux linkage, flux line and distribution, flux strengthening, various torque capability, and torque-power versus speed characteristics. As a conclusion, single-phase non-overlap windings FEFSM using segmental rotor with power, torque and speed capabilities of 277.5 W, 0.91 Nm and 2,899 rpm, respectively considered as the best candidate for low torque high speed applications.

Field excitation flux switching machines (FEFSMs) in which their torque performance generated by interaction between armature and field excitation (FE) coils have been widely designed and developed for various applications. In this regard, FEFSM with salient rotor is considered the most suitable candidate for high speed applications because of their advantages of flux controllability, and robust due to single piece of rotor structure. However, the existing FEFSM with overlapped armature and FEC windings lead to increment of copper loss, motor size and material cost. In addition, the declination of torque and power densities due to high rotor weight needs to be improved. In this paper, performance comparisons of four FEFSM topologies particularly emphasis on non-overlap armature coil and FEC windings placed on the stator with segmental rotor are investigated. The performances, including flux linkage, back-emf, flux strengthening, flux line, flux distribution, cogging torque, torque and power of the proposed motor are analysed and compared using 2D finite element analysis (FEA) thru JMAG Designer version 15. As a result, segmental rotor has produced shorter flux paths, while non-overlapping windings has reduced the copper consumption. Finally, the best combination of stator slot-pole configurations is 12S-6P which provide high flux linkage, high torque and power of 0.0412 Wb, 0.77 Nm and 0.26 kW, respectively.

<span>Recently, a three-phase Field Excitation Flux Switching Motor (FEFSM) using salient rotor has been introduced, suitable for high torque, high power as well as high speed diverse performances due to their advantages of easy rotor temperature elimination and controllable field excitation (FE) flux. However, existing FEFSMs are found to have low torque performance as the salient rotor structure has caused longer flux path, and consequently weak flux linkage. Therefore, a new structure of a single-phase FEFSM using segmental rotor and non-overlap windings is proposed. There are two valuable findings found in this topology, first is less copper loss due to the non-overlap windings between armature and FE coils, and secondly the segmental rotor structure has produces shorter flux path to produce high torque, less rotor weight as well as robust rotor at high speed condition. Flux linkage, back-emf, average torque and output power characteristics of the initial and optimized designs have been investigated and compared using 2D Finite Element Analysis (2D-FEA) through JMAG Designer version 15. Based on the 2D-FEA analysis, the average torque has increased by 81.3% to 1.65 Nm, while the output power of 466.5 W, increased of 68.2%. In conclusions, a FEFSM using segmental rotor and non-overlap windings is considered as the best single-phase motor due to their optimal performances and less copper loss.</span>

Recently, a three-phase Field Excitation Flux Switching Motor (FEFSM) with salient rotor structure has been introduced with their advantages of easy rotor temperature elimination and controllable FEC magnetic flux particularly meet for high torque, high power as well as high speed diverse performances. Nevertheless, the salient rotor structure is found to lead a longer magnetic flux path between stator and rotor producing weak flux linkage along with low torque performances. Therefore, a new structure of a single-phase FEFSM using segmental rotor with non-overlap windings is proposed. Segmental rotor and non-overlap windings are the clear advantages of these topologies as the copper losses gets reduce and rotor becomes less weight as well as more robust. Detailed analysis on winding arrangement test analysis, armature and FEC flux linkage, back-EMF and average torque characteristics have been performed by using 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through JMAG version 15 software. The results show that the proposed motor with segmental rotor and non-overlap windings produce short flux path, high flux linkage and the highest torque capability achieved is 0.91 Nm.

This paper presents a new structure of field excitation flux switching motor (FEFSM) as an alternative candidate of non-permanent magnet (PM) machine. The rotor is consisted of only stack of iron and hence, it is reliable and appropriate for high speed operation. Initially, the coil arrangement tests are examined to validate the operating principle of the motor and to identify the zero rotor position. Furthermore, the profile of flux linkage, induced voltage, cogging torque, torque and power characteristics are observed based on 2D finite element analysis (FEA). Initial performances show that 8S-12P FEFSM produce torque and power of 8.79Nm and 1.5kW, respectively with low cogging torque and sinusoidal flux waveform. Further design refinement and optimization will be conducted to improve the performances of the motor.

Hybrid excitation flux switching machines (HEFSMs) have a several advantages such as robust rotor structure, high torque and power capabilities, and high efficiency suitable for light load and heavy industry applications. However, the general structure of HEFSMs employed with three main flux sources namely permanent magnet (PM), field excitation coil (FEC) and armature coil located on the stator body causes high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a new non-PM field excitation flux switching machine (FEFSM) consists of rugged rotor structure suitable for high-speed operation with capability to keep similar torque and power density of HEFSM is proposed and examined. In this paper, performances of both outer and inner rotor 12S-14P FEFSMs are analyzed and compared. As conclusion, the inner-rotor topology provides much higher torque and power when compared with outer rotor configuration.

Permanent magnet flux switching machines (PMFSMs) in which their torque performance produced by interaction between armature coils and permanent magnet (PM) have been widely designed for various applications. In this regard, single-phase 8Slots-12Poles PMFSM with single tooth stator is considered the most suitable candidate for light weight applications because of their advantages of lower copper loss, high efficiency and robust rotor. However, issues of low torque performance due to weak flux linkage, high of PM volume, and high distortion in back-emf that need to be improved. In this paper, a new design of single-phase PMFSM using multi-tooth stator is proposed. Both PMFSMs have been designed using JMAG Designer version 15 and analysed through 2D-FEA. Parameters of stator outer radius, rotor outer radius, air gap, and stack length are set to 37.5mm, 22mm, 0.25mm, and 20.3mm, respectively. Based on the 2D-FEA, PM flux linkage and torque performances of the PMFSM using multi-tooth are 5 times and 38% higher than PMFSM using single-tooth. As a conclusion, single-phase 4Slot-12Poles PMFSM using multi-tooth stator considered as the best candidate for light weight applications due to the less PM volume, and good performances of toque, power and based speed of 1.44Nm, 219W, 1,062rpm, respectively.

Flywheel rotor structure is one of essential assemblies of the flywheel system used in IPACS. It is significant to ensure the safety of metallic hub and the composite rim under high centrifugal loading induced by the rotation field and the surface pressure produced by the interface misfits. In this paper a 3-D stress analysis model of the flywheel rotor is presented with the finite element analysis software ANSYS and the failure criteria of the materials are discussed to assess the structural strength. Moreover, the key design parameters are investigated briefly to disclose their influences on the stress distribution of rotor structure. At last, an optimum mathematics model with the outer radius of metallic hub, the thickness of each composite ring and the interface misfits as the design variables is presented. Based on the optimum design platform, the series of flywheel rotor structures can be designed systematically.
