Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of electric machines has become so common and obvious that most people do not pay attention to their existence. However, electric machines, which perform both driving and control tasks in many applications, are responsible for the correct and failure-free operation of many systems. They are at the heart of the new industrial revolution brought forth by the development of electromobility and renewable energy systems. On the other hand, engineers and scientists who create and design new drive solutions know about these aspects. Scientists from around the world are trying to develop a technological solution in terms of construction, power supply, and control of electrical machines in order to convert energy with their participation as efficiently as possible. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the research and its results of the theory, design, modelling, application, and control of all types of rotating and linear electric machines.

I kindly encourage scientists and engineers to present the results of their original research as well as review papers in the field of design and application of electric machines.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Generators in renewable energy sources;
  • Novel applications of electric machines;
  • Electric machines technologies for electric vehicles and wind energy conversion systems;
  • Hybrid excited electric machines;
  • Unconventional design of electric machines;
  • Machine optimisation processes;
  • Thermal and mechanical analyses;
  • Power electronics systems used for control electrical machines;
  • Supply and control techniques of electrical machines;
  • Simulation tools, modelling and analysis of electrical machines;
  • All other aspects of permanent magnet synchronous machines, synchronous reluctance machines, induction machines, switched reluctance machines, brushless dc machines, linear machines, etc.

This paper presents a new method of reducing the inrush current and improving the starting performance of a line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM). The novelty of the proposed method relies on the selection of the time instant of the connection of the stator winding to the grid, for which the smallest values of the amplitudes of inrush currents are obtained. To confirm the effectiveness of the developed method of limiting the inrush current, simulations and experimental studies were carried out. The algorithm and dedicated computer code developed by the authors for the analysis of transient coupled phenomena in the LSPMSM were used to study the impact of the time instant of connection of the winding to the grid on the motor start-up process. The algorithm was based on a field model of coupled electromagnetic and thermal phenomena in the studied motor. To verify the developed model of the phenomena and the proposed method, experimental research was carried out on a purpose-built computerised test stand. Good concordance between the results of the experiments and simulations confirmed the high reliability of the proposed model, as well as the effectiveness of the developed approach in limiting the inrush current and improving the starting performance of LSPMSMs. Full article

This paper presents research on an unconventional electric machine. It is a hybrid excited machine which includes the features of three types of machines: the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine, the Synchronous Machine, and the Synchronous Reluctance Machine. Therefore, a broad literature review related to the above-mentioned types of machines was constructed. The well-known Permanent Magnet assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine joins features of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine and Synchronous Reluctance Machine topologies. This paper shows the results of the innovative design of the Hybrid Excited Permanent Magnet assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machine, which additionally has advantages of the Synchronous Machine. In the article the basic methods of electromagnetic flux control and the designs using them are also presented. Finally, the results of simulation studies of the effect of the stator skew on the machine performance are described. Full article

In this article, the field (FEM) and analytical analyses were used for the optimal selection of magnets material for the Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (AFPMG), without building the prototype before. The tested generator is an axial flux machine which consists of a single stator and two rotor discs with Permanent Magnets (PM). Three-dimensional (3D) ANSYS Maxwell package was used for magnetostatic and transient field (FEM) simulations. Two types of PM were selected for the analysis: Ceramic (also known as “Ferrite”) magnets made from Strontium Ferrite powder and Neodymium Iron Boron magnets (NdFeB). The authors compared obtained electromotive forces (EMF) and generator powers for selected magnets materials, performed FFT analyses of voltages and currents and indicated the optimal solutions. In addition to the operational properties of the AFPMG, the magnet and manufacturing costs were compared. Full article

Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines are good candidates for electric vehicle applications due to their high torque density, improved efficiency, and better flux distribution; thus, they are often used. A dual-rotor single-stator AFPM machine with four differently shaped permanent magnet (PM) rotors is investigated. The main aim of this paper is to enhance the average torque while minimizing the cogging torque and torque ripples at the expense of low PM volume. The proposed machines are analyzed in terms of flux linkage, back-EMF, cogging torque, average torque, and torque ripples. The analysis reveals that the machine with an arc-shaped PM rotor performs better than the others. In addition, the trapozoidal arc-shaped PM used in the AFPM machine outperforms the hexagonal, skew arc, and traditional trapezoidal PMs. The torque density of the trapezoidal-shaped PM machine is 40.23 (KNm/m3), while that of the hexagonal shape is 32.46 (KNm/m3), that of the skew arc shape is 39.78 (KNm/m3), and that of the arc shape is 50.38 (KNm/m3).
