Abstract

In this paper, three Vernier permanent-magnet (VPM) machines, namely the inner-rotor VPM (IR-VPM) machine, the double-rotor VPM (DR-VPM) machine and the DR consequent-pole VPM (DR-CPVPM) machine are proposed for the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. Owing to employment of double-rotor structure and toroidal-winding arrangement, the DR-VPM and the DR-CPVPM machines can enjoy better material utilization and easier manufacturing process than its IR-VPM counterpart. Meanwhile the DR-CPVPM machine can utilize the consequent-pole topology to minimize flux leakage that exists in conventional design. With the support of finite element method (FEM), the machine performances among the VPM machines can be compared quantitatively.
