Method of parameters calculation of single-phase flux-switching permanent magnet machine

This paper proposes methods of parameters calculation of single-phase flux-switching permanent-magnet (S_FSPM) machine, in terms of copper loss property. The purpose of the study is to improve efficiency of S_FSPM through loss minimization by a mathematical design optimization approach. Furthermore, Influence of the asymmetry of airgap of a S_FSPM is investigated by finite-element analysis with particular reference on starting capability. The intension is not just to make trial and error but to be the standard of design.
