Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, design methods of flux-modulating synchronous motors without using expensive permanent magnets were explored as new types of traction motors for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs. The main results are as follows. 1) By setting an offset on the salient-pole rotor, it is possible to suppress the harmonics in the back-EMF waveform and reduce the cogging torque and torque pulsation. 2) Even if the rotor design is changed from the salient-pole type to the flux-barrier type or segment type, their torque densities are almost the same. 3) In the outer-rotor configuration, a high torque can be obtained by effectively utilizing the inner space as compared with the inner-rotor configuration. In addition, the outer-rotor configuration makes it easy to reduce the losses and improve the efficiency while obtaining nearly the same torque density as that of the partitioned-stator configuration.
