Rajdev, Ansh (author)The design of electrical machines is complicated due to the number of variables involved and due to competing objectives like efficiency, weight and cost. Another important aspect is the involvement of different physical phenomena such as torque production, electromagnetic fields and thermal heat flow. Thus designs need to satisfy multiple...master thesis 2022

Guo, Baocheng (author), Du, Yunlu (author), Djelloul KHEDDA, Zakarya (author), Peng, Fei (author), Dong, J. (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Frederic, Dubas (author), Boughrara, Kamel (author)In this article, we propose a novel nonlinear semianalytical model (AM) for the magnetic field calculation of electric machines. The nonlinear properties and local saturation effect of the iron part are taken into consideration in Cartesian coordinates, which is the main contribution of the proposed model. Thus, high accuracy of...journal article 2022

Wani, F.M. (author)Among different ways of harnessing tidal energy, tidal stream turbines are gaining popularity over traditional tidal dams. This is owing to the lower capital cost, and potentially lower ecological impact of tidal turbines. However, compared to more developed sources of energy, tidal energy remains expensive, which impedes its large-scale...doctoral thesis 2021

Roy Choudhury, Shashank (author)Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine have found their way into more applications due to their high power and torque density and high efficiency. The PWM schemes used to generate the voltage signals for the machine consist of high frequency trapezoidal signals, when not filtered. These high frequency signals when directly applied to the machine...master thesis 2020

Brouwer, J. (author)Due to its high torque density, excellent efficiency and ease of control, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine has found its use more and more in today’s world. To power these machines however, the position of the rotor magnets is required to be able to inject currents which generate the desired torque and speed. This magnet position is...master thesis 2020

Zhu, Zichong (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Dong, J. (author), Peng, Fei (author), Yao, Yu (author)This article presents a new rotor design to reduce rotor eddy current loss of a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous machine for flywheel energy storage system. Instead of using common nonmagnetic sleeves, the new rotor incorporates permeable retaining sleeves (PRSs) to fix permanent magnets on the rotor hub. The PRSs are made of permalloy...journal article 2020

Desmedt, Michiel (author)Wind energy has shown to be a great renewable energy source, with a possible penetration of 20 % by 2040. In order to increase its competitiveness with fossil fuels, the LCOE should decrease further than it already has. Increasing the power rating of wind turbines has proven to be an effective way to achieve this. However, this results in...master thesis 2019

Guo, Baocheng (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Peng, Fei (author), Dong, J. (author)In this paper, a new hybrid model is proposed for the prediction of air gap magnetic field distribution (MFD) in interior permanent magnet machines with any rotor configuration. The slotless magnetic field is first predicted by finite-element method (FEM) with automatic scripting in MATLAB to consider saturation in the rotor iron. Afterward,...journal article 2019

Wani, F.M. (author), Dong, J. (author), Polinder, H. (author)Permanent magnet machines with fractional slot windings are popular because of their shorter end windings, low cost and ease of manufacturing. On the other hand, fractional slot machines have higher eddy current losses in the rotor magnets and sleeve. An accurate calculation of these losses usually involves a time-stepped finite-element analysis...conference paper 2018

(author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)The brushless doubly-fed induction machine (DFIM) has great potential as a variable-speed generator for wind turbine applications. This special machine has a richer space-harmonic spectrum due to its special nested-loop rotor construction compared with conventional induction machines. It may result in higher iron losses, higher torque ripple and...conference paper 2017

Wang, X. (author), Liu, D. (author), Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)Permanent-magnet machines with fractional slot concentrated windings are easy to manufacture. Their popularity therefore is steadily increasing. Without a proper design, however, the induced eddy-current losses in the solid rotor get rather high. The modeling and the prediction of eddy-current losses for these machines are thus very important...conference paper 2016
