An analytically extended PM model with fictitious PM arrays is presented in the paper for solving the field problem of PM electric machines in three dimensions. To consider the effect of finite core length, each PM array is assumed to face a fictitious core array together with the actual armature core. By using the analytic approach and the PM model presented, the three-dimensional field proble...

The design and implementation of the instructional electric machine laboratory is described in this paper. The objectives of this project are to upgrade 50-year old laboratory equipment and to provide students with hands-on experience on up-to-date electric machines, drives and instruments, as well as to improve their understanding of the theory learned from lectures. Instead of the systems esp...

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) powered by electric machines and an internal combustion engine (ICE) are a promising means of reducing emissions and fuel consumption without compromising vehicle functionality and driving performance. Reducing emissions is important because pollution in cities is almost entirely due to transport and is linked to the illness and death of many people. This paper d...
