Vector control study of axial field flux-switching permanent magnet machine

Axial field flux-switching permanent magnet (AFFSPM) machine is novel permanent magnet machine which combines the advantages of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and flux-switching machine. In order to study the operating performance of AFFSPM machine in the whole speed range, the drive system of AFFSPM machine is investigated based on vector control. In this paper, the topology of AFFSPM machine is introduced and the mathematical model of AFFSPM machine is deduced. The id=0 control is employed in constant torque region and the flux-weakening control is adopted in constant power region. The simulation and experimental analysis are carried out by using matlab and dSPACE 1103 platform. The experimental results are consistent with simulation results and theoretical analysis. The results show that AFFSPM machine is relatively very suitable for in-wheel motor of Electric Vehicles (EVs).
