Optimization of Rotor Salient Pole Reluctance for Typical Field Modulated Electric Machines

The objective of this article is to investigate the possibility to improve the torque characters of electric machines featuring rotor salient pole reluctance from the perspective of the general airgap field modulation theory. The torque production mechanisms of two typical field modulated machines, namely, the magnetically geared machine (MGM) and the flux-reversal permanent magnet (FRPM) machine,...
