Quantitative Performance Comparison and Optimization of Novel Complementary Field Excited Linear Flux Switching Machine

In this paper, two well-known topologies of proposed Double Sided Field Excited Linear Flux Switching Machine with Segmented Secondary (FELFSMSS) i.e. Dual Stator and Dual Mover are quantitatively compared with a valid decision of selecting Dual Stator FELFSMSS (DSFELFSMSS) based on low numerical values of detent force, thrust force ripples, and normal force, and high values of open circuit flux linkage, average thrust force, and thrust force density. In order to uplift overall thrust force profile of selected DSFELFSMSS at the rate of minimum thrust force ripple ratio, geometry based deterministic optimization and appropriate selection of AC and DC current density approach is adopted. Finally, a novel technique of auxiliary end tooth DC winding is applied to limit thrust force ripple ratio less than 10 percent.
