@ARTICLE{Awah_Chukwuemeka_Chijioke_A_2022, author={Awah, Chukwuemeka Chijioke}, volume={vol. 71}, number={No 2}, journal={Archives of Electrical Engineering}, howpublished={online}, year={2022}, publisher={Polish Academy of Sciences}, abstract={A new double stator permanent magnet machine having two sets of alternating current (AC) windings in separate stators is proposed in this study. The proposed machine is appropriate for low-speed direct-drive applications. 2D- and 3D-finite element analysis (FEA) is adopted in the result predictions. The considered machine elements are: coil and phase flux linkage, coil and phase induced-electromotive force (EMF), copper loss, current density and torque characteristics. The analysis shows that the studied permanent magnet (PM) machine has better electromagnetic performance than its single-stator equivalent. Moreover, the proposed machine has potential for higher reliability if the separate stators are used independently. The effect of design parameters on open-circuit flux linkage and induced-electromotive force, as well as on the average electromagnetic torque of the proposed double stator machine is also presented. It is observed that for each of the investigated design variables, there is a need to select the optimal value in order to achieve the best average torque. The investigated design parameters are: the split ratio, magnet thickness, rotor radial thickness, inner stator tooth-width, rotor inner and outer iron-width/pitch ratio, and stator yoke size.}, type={Ahead of print}, title={A new topology of double-stator permanent magnet machine equipped with AC windings on both stators}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/122916/PDF/art01_internet.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aee.2022.140711}, keywords={double and single stator, electromotive force, flux linkage, machine geometries, torque}, }
