Abstract

Conventional energy sources like fossil fuels are no longer viable due to their limitations and environmental impact. The demand for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions has led to the development of electric machines with smaller volumes and higher output. The family of permanent magnet Vernier motors have high torque output at very low speeds while being very small in volume. In conventional SVPM, the core losses are high, which leads to heating and reducing the efficiency of the motor, and the power factor of the motor is also low, and the torque can increase in relation to the motor volume. The reluctance torque theory, along with the normal output torque of the motor, increases the final torque of the motor. In addition, the toothing of the rotor reduces the cross-sectional area and weight of the rotor. With the reduction of the cross-sectional area, the eddy currents in the core are reduced, the power factor increases and the efficiency of the motor improves. Therefore, in this paper, a spoke-type permanent magnet Vernier motor with a rotor similar to the reluctance rotor has been designed, which has higher torque, lower losses, and higher power factor compared to conventional spoke-type permanent magnet Vernier motors.
