Abstract :
This paper illustrates the design of in-wheel
direct-drive axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM)
machine for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in order to
obtain a wide speed range operation with high operation
efficiency and low cogging torque. Using a coreless type
of stators can help to improve the total machine
efficiency as a result of power loss reduction. In order to
achieve the direct drive without any mechanical
transmission for HEVs, the wheel motor has been
designed as a low-speed high-torque motor. Direct drive,
in-wheel motors are ideal for vehicles, because of their
high efficiency, compressed packaging, easy handling,
and safety operation. The performance analysis of this
axial flux permanent magnet in-wheel motor is done
using finite-element method and the obtained results
verify the validation of this proposed design method. The
experimental results obtained from sample practical
prototype, confirm the analytical method.
