Three-Phase Dual-Winding Multitasked PMSM Machine Using Double Layer Concentrated Winding for HEV Application

Abstract

This paper proposes a three-phase dual-winding permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) providing multitasked operation for accessory drive systems in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). The novelty of this research lies in the machine having special slots and pole combinations with specific configuration of two sets of double-layer concentrated group winding separated by the unwound tooth between the phase groups formed on the same stator to achieve both the motoring and generator operation simultaneously as well as independently. These operations are accomplished by incorporating motor and generator winding separately on the same stator of a single PMSM machine. This single machine is particularly designed to eliminate the mutual coupling between these two sets of windings such that the load variation on the generator does not affect the mechanical output power of the motor. To confirm this multitasking, the electromagnetic design of the machine has been presented, and its operating modes are analyzed. The performance is compared using finite element analysis with that of a conventional PMSM machine having a double-layer winding configuration.
