Hybrid excitation is a technology that combines the advantages of field windings and
permanent magnets for inducing magnetic flux. This article studies the benefits of hybrid …

Machine design optimization is usually based on one or few operating points, but when a
driving cycle is considered, cluster analysis can be performed to determine the …

To increase the torque density of salient pole wound field synchronous machines (WFSMs)
a high slot fill die compressed field winding is investigated. Increasing the slot fill of the field …

In this paper, magnetic flux density distribution and performance of serially and parallelly
half-wave rectified excited permanent magnet motors are studied. The motors' magnetic flux …

This thesis aims to develop a flexible and time-efficient framework for machine design
optimization that considers driving cycles, multiphysics domains and current design. The …
