A Novel, Single Stator Dual PM Rotor, Synchronous Machine: Topology, Circuit Model, Controlled Dynamics Simulation and 3D FEM Analysis of Torque Production

This paper introduces a novel brushless, single winding and single stator, dual PM rotor axial-air-gap machine capable to deliver independently torque at the two rotors by adequate vector control. The proposed topologies, the circuit model, controlled dynamics simulation and preliminary 3D FEM torque production on a case study constitute the core of the paper. The proposed dual mechanical port system should be instrumental in parallel (with planetary gears) or series hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) aiming at a more compact and efficient electric power system solution.
