2. Tasks  Design two kinds of motors (1kW and 3kW) using sizing equations combined with FEM simulation and calculate the machine parameters and performance.  Consider both axial flux and radial flux structure to compare the performance.  To design radial flux motor, use the same rotor and stator diameter for two motors to reduce the manufacture cost.

3. Sizing Equations  Four types of sizing equations are available which link the motor torque to the motor size.

4. The Sizing Equation  Provides many relations between physical dimensions and density-like quantities and is well adaptive to produce a design that is geometrically compatible from the start.

5. Electrical Constraints  Current density  Induced voltage  Output power  Output torque

6. Maximizing the Coefficient  Specify current density: J1=10000A/in flux density at stator: Bt=1.8T, Bc=1.4T flux density at airgap : Bg=0.8T  Get the maximum value of  Select the number of slots and the winding structure to meet the induced voltage and input current requirement.

7. Rotor Design  Design the rotor structure using magnetic equivalent circuit method.  4 poles.  High energy PM: NdFeB (Neodymium-iron-boron).  Design airgap length.  Design permanent magnetic structure.

8. FEM Analysis  Calculate flux density in airgap, rotor and stator core.  Calculate back emf and inductance.  Calculate torque and torque ripple.  Calculate losses.

9. Performance Analysis  All performance must meet the required specification.  Thermal consideration.  Tradeoff may be necessary for the best performance.
