A Study on the Design of a Fault-Tolerant Consequent-Pole Hybrid Excited Machine for Electric Vehicles

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, a new fault-tolerant consequent-pole hybrid excited (FTCPHE) machine with toroidal winding (TW) is designed for electric vehicles (EVs). In this proposed machine, U-type permanent magnets (PMs) are adopted in the consequent-pole rotor with the sequence of PM–iron–PM–iron. The stator tooth placed in the stator is classified into two groups to achieve hybrid excitation. The TW is positioned on the stator yoke to achieve the simple structure and excellent fault-tolerant ability. First, the topology of this proposed FTCPHE machine with the TW is briefly introduced and compared to that with the traditional combined winding. Second, the operation principle, the magnetic circuit, and the design procedure of the FTCPHE machine are analyzed and illustrated. Third, several key structural parameters of the proposed FTCPHE machine are discussed and designed to improve electromagnetic performances. Next, some electromagnetic properties, including the flux distribution, the no-load back-EMF, the electromagnetic torque, the cogging torque, and the fault-tolerant ability, are discussed in detail. Finally, a prototype of this proposed FTCPHE machine is manufactured to validate the simulated results.
