Popis: Axial-flux magnetic-geared machine (MGM) is a promising solution for electric vehicle applications for combining the virtues of both axial-flux electric machine and magnetic gear. However, generalized MGMs are limited by the torque density issue, accordingly inapplicable to industrial applications. To solve the abovementioned issue, an improved axial-flux magnetic-geared machine with a dual-winding design is proposed. The key merit of the proposed design is to achieve enhanced torque performance and space utilization with the proposed design, which installs a set of auxiliary winding between modulation rings. With the proposed design, overload protection capability, and fault-tolerant capability can be also achieved, for the proposed machine can work with either the excitation of armature windings or auxiliary windings. The pole-pair, slot combination, and parametric design is studied and optimized by the 3d finite-element method and designed C++ optimization software. Electromagnetic analysis and performance comparison indicate that the proposed machine can achieve a torque enhancement of 68.6% compared to the comparison machine.
