Large power permanent magnet transverse flux motor, steady-state and dynamic behavior

Abstract

The permanent magnet transverse flux machine (PMTFM) is characterized by power densities figures larger than the conventional electric motors and by a specific modularity. The PMTFM has usually a complicated structure with a true three dimensional (3D) pattern. In this paper, a PMTFM with a simple structure is proposed for a ship drive system and its performance are checked via a three dimensions finite element method (3D-FEM) analysis. The PMTFM's dynamic behavior is studied too. The obtained results are finally commented.
