Abstract

Stator DC winding Excited Vernier Reluctance Machines (DC-VRMs) are a kind of novel machines, which are investigated more and more owing to absence of expensive permanent magnet material. However, DC-VRMs are found to have large torque ripple if they are not carefully designed. There are a lot of existing methods to reduce the cogging torque in permanent magnet (PM) machines, but the design techniques for DC-VRMs have only been mentioned recently in few papers. In this paper, some new methods are proposed including shifted rotor tooth, stepped rotor skewing with multiple modules, T-shape rotor tooth, various rotor tooth arc, rotor tooth-chamfering, different length of air gap, and these methods are based on the techniques for PM machines to reduce torque ripple. The influence of the proposed methods on torque ripple is examined by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and it is found that the torque ripple can be reduced significantly.
