A New Partitioned Stator Hybrid Excitation Machine With Internal Magnetic Ring.

A new partitioned stator hybrid excitation (HE) with an internal magnetic ring machine was proposed in this article. The key of the design is to adopt an inner magnetic ring to reduce the inside stator magnetic reluctance. As a result, the working magnetic field harmonics can be improved, which in turn improve the torque and flux regulation abilities. Besides, by following the design of partition stator, the space competition of permanent magnet, armature winding, and field winding can be effectively alleviated as compared with a single stator HE machine. The structure and operation principle of the conventional and proposed machines are described. Moreover, electromagnetic performances of both machines are compared by using finite element method. Theoretical and simulation analysis results show that the proposed machine can exhibit higher torque and enhanced flux regulation ability than the conventional one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
