Abstract

The demand of conventional vehicles which operates with internal combustion engine (ICE) has been increased with the increasing of the world population. However, it has led to the pollutant emissions which would affects to the global warming. Thus, to overcome this problem, auto-manufacturers has been introduced hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which combined the ICE with battery based electric motor. Many researchers has been focus on a new machine which are known as flux switching machine. HEFSM becomes as a one possible candidates among the other FSMs due to the flux sources. Thus, a new structure of 12S-10P HEFSM with additional iron flux bridges has been developed to overcome the problem of C-Type stator core. Therefore, some design optimization is conducted to achieve the target torque and power which similar to the requirement of conventional HEVs, Prius ‘07. As a result, the optimum design has been successfully achieve the target torque and power, respectively.
