Design and analysis of a novel flux-switching permanent magnet integrated-starter-generator

This paper presents a flux-switching permanent magnet machine for application of automotive integrated-starter- generator (ISG). Firstly, a typical three-phase flux-switching permanent magnet machine topology and its advantages are introduced. Secondly, optimal design of the machine to maximise torque capability is studied and final design data is given as the global optimisation for the target ISG. Finally, the performance simulation results are obtained and analysed.
