Abstract
This paper describes a hybrid method for calculating the performance of a coreless stator axial flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator. The method uses a combination of finite-element analysis and theoretical analysis. The method is then incorporated into a multidimensional optimization procedure to optimally design a large power coreless stator AFPM generator. The measured performance of the manufactured prototype compares favorably with the predicted results. The design approach can be applied successfully to optimize the design of the coreless stator AFPM machine.Keywords
