Winding design for pole-phase modulation of induction machines

Induction machines with pole-phase modulation (PPM) can extend speed / torque capabilities for applications in integrated starter/generator and hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, a general winding design rule for the PPM of induction machines is proposed. A prototype is used to verify the proposed method and the feasibility of the designed pole-changing winding. Besides, the characteristics of three different structure machines — conventional winding machine, toroidal winding machine and dual-rotor torodial winding machine operated in the same mode are compared by using the finite element software JMAG-studio. The results show that both conventional winding machine and dual-rotor torodial winding machine present good performances. Moreover, conventional winding machine has many advantages such as a simple structure, so its experimental prototype is designed and manufactured for next control work.
