Flux-reversal machine (FRM) is a new doubly salient stator-permanent magnet (PM) machine with flux linkage reversal in the stator concentrated windings. It can operate in both motoring and generating modes. Its simple structure makes it cost effective and suitable for mass production. However, there is notable permanent magnet flux leakage which deteriorates the torque ability of the FRM. In this paper, a novel design to improve the performance of an FRM is proposed. The proposed FRM has permanent magnets parallel to the stator magnet flux lines and thus is much more difficult to demagnetize. To analyze the characteristics of the proposed FRM, a two-dimensional finite-element method (2-D FEM) is used. The prototype FRM is also built to prove the advantage of the new design method. From the analysis and experimental results, it is shown that the proposed FRM has an improved performance.
