“…Several PMSM for the aircraft industry have been developed during the last years. Some of the most remarkable models and studies can be found in [18], [106], [107], [108], [109], and [110]. However, PMSM are affected by the uncontrolled voltage regeneration when the motor control unit does not perform properly flux weakening and the speed is high.…”

This paper presents a review of the state of the art in electric propulsion for regional aircraft in the MW range. The implications surrounding the implementation of this technology, such as the need of high-power density or the use of high-voltage at high-altitude, are presented. Along with the challenges, the available technologies to face them are reviewed. Those are, as follows, the emerging new motor topologies for this purpose, the winding technologies, the materials employed for electric motors for aircraft propulsion and the ground-breaking use of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) as a high-power density enabler. Finally, a conclusion is presented gathering the main ideas of the paper.INDEX TERMS Aircraft propulsion, electric motor, high-power, high-temperature superconductor, high-voltage.

“…In [290] is presented a starter generator system for electric aircraft based on a three-phase three-level neutral point clamped dc-ac converter, with a higher power density being achieved compared to conventional starter generator systems without using power electronics converters. In [291] is presented the design of an integrated modular machine drive for electric aircraft based on a five-phase PMSM machine and a SiC-based five-phase five-leg dc-ac traction converter (Figure 35), and [292] studied a design method for a cooling system to be used on electric aircraft powertrains. In [293] is analyzed the regenerative braking operation of an electric taxiing system, i.e., when an aircraft moves by its own on the ground instead of in the air to move, for instance, between the runway and the hangar.…”

Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions are a key topic addressed by modern societies worldwide. As a contribution to mitigate such effects caused by the transportation sector, the full adoption of electric mobility is increasingly being seen as the main alternative to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, which is supported by positive industry indicators, despite some identified hurdles. For such objective, power electronics technologies play an essential role and can be contextualized in different purposes to support the full adoption of electric mobility, including on-board and off-board battery charging systems, inductive wireless charging systems, unified traction and charging systems, new topologies with innovative operation modes for supporting the electrical power grid, and innovative solutions for electrified railways. Embracing all of these aspects, this paper presents a review on power electronics technologies for electric mobility where some of the main technologies and power electronics topologies are presented and explained. In order to address a broad scope of technologies, this paper covers road vehicles, lightweight vehicles and railway vehicles, among other electric vehicles.

“…In [17], Zhang et al considered the selection of the pole-slot combination and winding arrangement of a twelve-phase fractionalslot concentrated winding permanent magnet (PM) motor dedicated to ship propulsion. In [18], Wu et al proposed a SiC-based integrated modular motor drive equipped with a five-phase FSPMSM. The motor and converter are cooled using a water jacket.…”

Fractional-Slot PMSMs With One Coil Parallel Branches Made Phases—Part I: Investigation Study

et al. 2021

This work proposes an approach to design fractional-slot permanent magnet synchronous machines (FSPMSMs) equipped with phases made up of one coil parallel branches. These machines exhibit attractive potentialities, especially their enhanced open-circuit fault tolerance capability. Beyond their intrinsic fault tolerance, an open-circuit affecting the targeted topologies leads to a torque step-down limited to the one developed by the concerned coil rather than the torque produced by the total phase in FSPMSMs equipped with phases made up of series-connected coils. Furthermore, these topologies are suitably-adapted to low-voltage power supply that makes them viable candidates in automotive applications. This potentiality is by far vital in battery electric vehicles with the risk of electrocution in case of accident totally-eradicated thanks to the reduction of the DC bus voltage. Part 1 of the developed work is aimed at a star of slots-based identification and topological characterization of the FSPMSMs enabling the arrangement of the armature phases according to one coil parallel branches. The study distinguishes the topologies with odd and even number of phases, arranged in single-and double-layer slots. A case study is treated using a 2D finite element analysis and validated by experiments.INDEX TERMS Fractional-slot permanent magnet synchronous machines, phases arranged in one coil parallel branches, start of slots approach, odd and even number of phases, single-and double-layer slots.
