Analytical design of a high-torque flux-switching permanent magnet machine by a simplified lumped parameter magnetic circuit model

This paper presents how to analytically design a high-torque three-phase flux-switching permanent magnet machine with 12 stator poles and 14 rotor poles. Firstly, the machine design parameters are studied addressing on high output torque and its flux distribution is also investigated by finite-element method (FEM) analysis. Then a simplified lumped parameter magnetic circuit model is built up for analyzing design parameters. And a design procedure is also presented. The analytically designed machine is verified by FEM simulations.
