Abstract

This paper introduces a novel wound-excited flux-switching (WEFS) vehicle generator as a substitute of the traditional claw-pole synchronous generator. By contrast, WEFS shows the advantages of high efficiency, low maintenance cost and strong robustness. The topologies, operation principles and flux modulation principles of WEFS are illustrated firstly. Then a low-voltage and high-current WEFS vehicle generator with small shaft-diameter ratio is designed. The structural parameters of it are optimized by the finite element analysis (FEA) method, which makes its power density high and cogging torque small. In addition, the operation of WEFS is simulated under different conditions, which obtains its static characteristics, output characteristics, voltage ripples and technical specifications. The results verify the rationality and superiority of WEFS as a novel vehicle generator.
