As consequence of the considerable increase of the electrical power demand in vehicles, the adoption of a combined direct-drive starter/alternator system is being seriously pursued and a new generation of vehicle alternators delivering power up to 6 kW over the entire range of the engine speed is soon expected for use with connection to a 42 V bus. The surface permanent magnet (SPM) machines offer many of the features sought for such future automotive power generation systems, and thereby a substantial improvement in the control of their output voltage would allow the full exploitation of their attractive characteristics in the direct-drive starter/alternator application without significant penalties otherwise resulting on the machine-fed power converter. Concerning that, this paper reports on the original solution adopted in a proof-of-concept axial-flux permanent magnet machine (AFPM) prototype to provide weakening of the flux linkage with speed and thereby achieve constant-power operation over a wide speed range. The principle being utilized is introduced and described, including design dimensions and experimental data taken from the proof-of-concept machine prototype.
