Design Optimization of Single-Phase Outer-Rotor 8S-8P Hybrid Excitation Flux Switching Motor for Electric Vehicle

Abstract:

Nowadays, in-wheel motors applied in pure electric vehicles (EVs) propulsion systems have attracted great attention in advance research and development. In-wheel direct drive provides quick torque response, higher efficiency, weight reduction, and increased vehicle space. As one of alternative, a new design of outer-rotor hybrid excitation flux switching motor (ORHEFSM) for in-wheel drive EV is proposed. In this paper, the optimization design of single-phase 8S-8P outer rotor HEFSM is analysed. Open and close circuit of initial and final design is compared based on 2-D finite element analysis (FEA). The design optimization has been made on the initial design machine shows that there is great enhancement on torque and power.
