Abstract

This paper will present two new Flux Switching Modulated Pole Machine (FS-MPM) topologies which have a similar structure to a Modulated Pole Machine. It aims to address the complexity of the rotor, by introducing a FS-MPM design in which the magnets are removed from the rotor and placed on the stator. Furthermore the number of magnets in the FS-MPMs is greatly reduced when compared to a standard MPM; reduction in component count and simplification of the rotor will offer a significant benefit in terms of cost and ease of production.
