ABSTRACT This paper deals with the design of high power – low dimensions axial-flux permanent-magnet motor intended for trac- tion application. First, two motor configurations are analytically designed and compared using finite element calcula- tion. Then, the configuration yielding the best performances is integrated and modelled with the whole traction chain under MATLAB/SIMULINK environment in order to demonstrate the motor operation on a large speed band.

Introduction Nowadays, the use of internal combustion engines in boats and Aeolian alternators driving [6]. vehicles is one of the principal causes of several pollution This paper presents the design of a high power – low problems as air and sound ones. Therefore, the electrical dimensions axial-flux permanent-magnet motor for a vehicles constitute an excellent candidate to avoid these traction application. First, the design criteria of electrical problems. However, since their appearance, the major parameters are highlighted for trapezoidal and sinusoid
