Abstract

This chapter proposes a heuristic algorithm for the design of optimal winding layouts for multiphase FSCW stators to achieve maximum torque density. The proposed heuristics algorithm is based on the analysis performed in Chapter 2 of this thesis for determining the harmonic winding factors for FSCW stators. A new indicator referred to as the “winding performance index” is proposed that evaluates the torque production ability of different winding layouts for FSCW stators. Multiple case-studies are investigated to evaluate the application of the proposed heuristic algorithm. The obtained results are validated through FEA and tests on a prototype FSCW machine.
