Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jeffrey, A. J., Connor, P. H., Vakil, G., Evans, P., Wheeler, P., & Hart, S. (2022). Cooling System Sizing using LPTN Analysis and Multiphysics Modelling for an Axial Flux Machine and Integrated Drive. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icem51905.2022.9910820

In this paper a Lumped Parameter Thermal Network (LPTN) is proposed for a Yokeless and Segmented Armature (YASA) axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine. A simulation model is used to examine the machine in isolation, with an Integrated Motor Driv...

Investigating Synchronous Reluctance Rotor Performance for Traction Applications against a Permanent Magnet Benchmark (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Connor, P. H., Khowja, M., La Rocca, A., La Rocca, S., Zou, T., Vakil, G., …Paciura, K. (2022). Investigating Synchronous Reluctance Rotor Performance for Traction Applications against a Permanent Magnet Benchmark. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icem51905.2022.9910649

This paper investigates the potential benefits for the use of synchronous reluctance machines for traction applications. Permanent magnet machines are often used to generate the highest power densities. However, magnet use has drawbacks including tem...
