Variable flux memory machines (VFMMs) are widely recognized as a breakthrough of conventional permanent magnet (PM) machines, which are genuine adjustable-flux PM machines. VFMMs utilize either stator armature windings or additional DC coils to energize remagnetizing/demagnetizing current pulses to vary the magnetization state (MS) of low coercive force (LCF) magnets, and the corresponding MS can be memorized. Therefore, the flexible air-gap flux control can be achieved with negligible excitation loss. As a new concept of PM machine, VFMM is promising for many industrial applications such as automotive, wind power generation and domestic appliances, etc..Based on the winding pattern supplying current pulse, the existing VFMMs can be categorized into AC- and DC-magnetized types. The former type has the simple structure. However, the online magnetization control is relatively sophiscated due to the integration of power and magnetization functions in the armature winding; on the other hand, the latter type can expediently realize online magnetization control. Nevertheless, the relatively complicated stator structure and low torque density are the major concerns for those DC-magnetized VFMMs..This project innovatively proposes a novel stator flux-concentrating permanent magnet memory machine (SFCPM-MM), which not only inherits the advantages of simple structure and high reliability in doubly salient reluctance machines, but also benefits from easy magnetization control in DC-magnetized VFMM. Meanwhile, the stator PM flux-concentration is expected to resolve the demerits of low torque density in conventional DC-magnetized VFMMs. The main research contents include: (1) explore the feasible advanced topologies featuring high efficiency and wide-speed-range, study the electro-mechanical energy conversion mechanism by analytical model; (2) research the flux regulation physics of this type of machine, investigate the variation pattern of PM magnetization states under different operating conditions; (3) summarize the rapid calculation technique for machine parameters and electromagnetic characteristics, generalize a multi-objective electromagnetic design methodology; (4) explore the PM synchronous and doubly salient wound field dual mode operations, research the coordinated strategy between dual mode operation, online flux regulation and drive control in order to achieve high efficiency and wide-speed-range operation. .This project aims to not only enrich the connotation of VFMM, but also lay a solid foundation for the engineering application of the proposed SFCPM-MM in the wide-speed-range industry sectors.
