Design of an Axial Flux Machine with Distributed Winding for Automotive Applications: Comparison of Different Rotor Structures

Poster prsented at the 13th IEEE International Conference and Exposition on Electrical and Power Engineering (EPEi 2024). 17-19 October 2024, Iaşi, Romania. 

This poster outlines a design methodology for axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machines (AFPMs) aimed at electric vehicle applications. A simplified analytical model for electromagnetic design is proposed, also the design choices related to machine topology: stator, and rotor structures. Three rotor configurations: SPM, flux-concentrating IPM, and V-shaped IPM are compared based on peak and continuous performance, magnetic attraction forces, and demagnetization risk. The findings provide insights into optimizing AFPM design for electric drivetrains.
