Abstract
The increasing demand for high-power density motors in electric transport industries opens a new research opportunity to develop motor topologies with less weight and high efficiency. In particular, all-electric aircraft applications require very high power density motors. This paper shows the design of a new 1 MW 20-pole/15-slot double rotor flux switching machine with high-temperature superconducting field coils and thermal management system. The proposed motor features an air-core stator. Aluminum Litz wire is used for the armature conductors, and the YBCO- high-temperature superconducting material is used for the field coils. The armature winding and field coils operate at 95K and 65K, respectively. The active part power density including rotors, armature windings and field coils obtained with the proposed design is 29.3kW/kg. The specific power density of proposed motor considering mechanical, support structure and TMS is about 18.5 kW/kg. The efficiency can be higher than 98.7% which satisfies the requirement of electric aviation.
