Abstract
Magnetic‐geared double‐rotor machines are recognized as a promising power‐splitting component in hybrid electric aircrafts (HEAs). However, the high fuel efficiency speed of the turbine engine in HEAs is about 10,000 rpm, whereas conventional topologies suffer from low efficiency at high speed due to its specific operation principle—the magnetic field modulating principle. A coreless stator magnetic‐geared double‐rotor machine (CS‐MGDRM) is proposed to enhance high‐speed efficiency and thus comply with the operation condition of HEAs. First, the machine structure and hybrid propulsion system configuration are introduced, and power‐flow analysis of three basic operation modes is presented. Second, the operation principle of the machine is illustrated, and investigation of electromagnetic performances is carried out by finite element analysis. Third, an analytical model of the machine is developed, based on which the design optimization towards the maximum torque capacity is investigated. Furthermore, the loss distribution law and transmission efficiency are analysed and compared with conventional scheme, and the power factor characteristic is investigated as well. Finally, the overall performance of the proposed machine is evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
