Investigation of a New Stator Permanent Magnet with the effects of Flux-Reversal and Flux-Switching

This article studies a new stator-permanent magnet (PM) motor with flux-switching (FS) and flux-reversal (FR) effects synergies. The proposed structure benefits from the splitting stator pole PMs and consequent-pole FRPM, which reduces the PM utilization compared to the conventional ones. Also, the proposed structure is optimized by a random search multiobjective algorithm to attain the structure with the highest output torque and minimum torque ripple. Additionally, the proposed motor is compared to a conventional FSPM to investigate the advantages of the main motor. Using finite element analysis (FEA) studies, the flux density distribution results show that the FR effect lowers the saturation risk compared to FSPM. Also, the back-EMF generation of the proposed motor has improved by 135% compared to its benchmark. Correspondingly, fullload results show that the proposed topology has enhanced the average torque by 75% and deteriorated the ripple by about 55% compared to FSPM. Therefore, the proposed structure offers a profitable for high torque density applications.
