Analytical Modeling of Misalignment in Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machine

This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of air gap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with various types of misalignments. The AFPM machine geometry is first transformed to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then...

Comparative Study of Foreign Object and Misalignment in Inductive Power Transfer Systems

This paper aims to identify the difference between foreign object (FO) and misalignment in terms of their influence on inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. This is performed through magnetic and equivalent circuit analysis of the mutual inductance, primary input impedance, charging pad terminal impedance and current harmonics. Experiment...
