Abstract
- In this paper, a novel high-temperature superconductor (HTS) permanent magnet (PM) vernier motor is proposed for direct-drive propulsion, which can directly offer the low-speed high-torque capability and the high-speed rotating field design to eliminate the gearing mechanism and maximize the power density, respectively. The key is to newly introduce HTS bulks to flux-modulation poles that can effectively modulate between the high-speed rotating field of armature windings and the low-speed rotating field of the PM outer rotor. Also, the use of HTS bulks can greatly reduce the flux leakage and hence improve the torque density. Based on using the finite element method, the motor performances are analysed. Hence, the validity of the proposed motor is verified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
