Partitioned stator doubly salient permanent magnet generators (PS-DSPGs) have been extensively used for electrical generation mainly due to their high reliability, high electromotive force (EMF), and high-power output. Therefore, we aim to improve the output power of a PS-DSPG by designing the optimal configuration of generator pole structure. Electrical characteristics including the magnetic flux linkage distribution, phase EMF, cogging torque, voltage regulation, and power output profile were characterized by using the finite element method. After optimizing the generator pole structure including the angle of air gap arc width, it was found that the proposed PS-DSPG with 18/15 (stator/rotor) pole structure with optimized air gap arc width could produce higher EMF of about 23.24% than a conventional structure because this structure has the suitable number of pole structures. Also, an analysis of voltage regulation and power output profiles under the loaded condition were carried out, and it was indicated that the PS-DSPG based on the suitable 18/15-pole structure could provide the best machine performance where the output power is 11.63% higher than the conventional structure. Hence, the proposed PS-DSPG with 18/15-pole structure can appropriately be utilized for electrical generation, especially in low-speed operated generator applications.

An optimal stator design technique of a three-phase doubly salient permanent magnet generator (DSPMG) for improving the output power is proposed. The stator configuration was optimally designed by adjusting the stator pole depth and stator pole arc. The trapezoid outer stator tip was also designed. Then, the output characteristics of the designed DSPMG including the flux linkage, electromotive force (EMF), harmonic, cogging torque, efficiency, magnetic flux distribution and voltage regulation were characterized by using the finite element method. Results were compared to the original structure in the literature. It was found that the flux linkage, EMF, cogging torque, and efficiency of the proposed DSPMG were significantly improved after the stator pole depth and stator pole arc were suitably modified. Further details of optimal stator pole depth and stator pole arc are presented. The EMF produced by the optimal proposed structure was 47% higher than that of the conventional structure, while 56% cogging torque improvement and 20% increased efficiency were achieved. The EMF generated by the proposed structure was classified in the high-range scale compared to the other existing models. The symmetrical magnetic flux distribution of all structures was indicated. The voltage regulation of the modified structure was also significantly improved from the conventional model. The proposed design technique can be utilized to maximize the electromagnetic performance of this particular generator type.

The partitioned stator permanent magnet generator (PS-PMG) has been extensively used as electrical generator due mainly to their high flux linkage, high electromotive force EMF) and high efficiency, especially the PM arrangement of the PS-PMG is an important factor to improve the performance of the generator. Therefore, we propose the novel permanent magnet PM) arrangement of the PS-PMG by using the dual rotor with coaxial core structure in order to improve the flux linkage and the EMF of PS-PMG. The PM position of stators of the conventional PS-PMG was rearranged, then the electrical characteristic of the proposed structure was characterized through the simulations based on finite element method. It was found that the flux linkage produced by the proposed structure is 37.06% higher than that of the conventional PS-PMG existed in the literatures because the area for induced flux linkage is significantly increased. This flux linkage enhancement further causes an increment of EMF about 34.95% compared to that of the conventional PS-PMG under the same condition. Especially, the EMF produced by the proposed structure is classified in the high-value range regarding the PM generator. Then, the PS-PMG using novel permanent magnet arrangement could be another remarkable choice for the electrical generator application

The doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) machines are very attractive for low-speed power generation. In this work, we propose a design technique to improve the output power of the DSPM generator by an adjustment of pole configuration. The number of stator and rotor poles, split ratio, as well as the stator pole arc of the generator, were proposedly adjusted and optimized. The output characteristics of the generator including the magnetic flux linkage, electromotive force, harmonic, cogging torque, electromagnetic torque, output voltage and output power were analyzed through finite element analysis. The symmetrical magnetic field distribution of all generators was firstly verified. Then, the results indicated that this particular generator was optimized at 18 stator poles and 12 rotor poles, while the split ratio and the stator pole arc should be set as 0.78 and 6.15 degrees, respectively. The proposed optimal generator could provide a significant improvement in the output voltage and the output power compared to the conventional structure. The output power of 1.28 kW can be reached by the optimal structure, which was two times higher than that of the conventional structure. The physical explanation regarding to the structural modification was also given. The proposed design technique can be applied for improving the output power of the DSPM machines.

The asymmetrical-pole ratio installed in the partitioned stator doubly salient permanent magnet machine (PS-DSPM) is proposed. Its particular outer stator teeth number is varied to improve the electromagnetic performances. The electromagnetic indicators including the magnetic flux distribution, magnetic flux linkage, back-electromotive force (back-EMF), cogging torque, electromagnetic torque, and ripple torque are investigated and then, compared with the conventional PS-DSPM by finite element analysis simulation. The results illustrate that the symmetrical distribution of the magnetic flux firstly is achieved by all proposed machines. The flux linkage magnitude is increased due mainly to the increase of the magnetic flux paths and winding slots when the increased outer stator teeth number. Especially, we found that the asymmetrical-pole PS-DSPM with 30 outer stator teeth has the suitable outer stator teeth number since it can produce the higher back-EMF waveform with a robust outer stator structure than the other proposed machines as well as a conventional machine. Moreover, the average electromagnetic torque with small ripple torque is reached by this proposed machine, which is 39.29% enhanced from the conventional one under the same copper loss. Hence, the asymmetrical-pole PS-DSPM having 30 outer stator teeth is the novel alternative machine for PS-DSPM improvement.
