TL;DR: In this paper, original analytical models to determine the electromagnetic performances of segmented permanent magnet synchronous machines (with removed active parts in the stator or the rotor) are presented, adapted to PMSM with large air gap width, large diameter, a high number of poles and large angular gaps.

TL;DR: In this article, a global design of a PM generator associated with a fixed-pitch turbine for tidal energy generation is presented. And the qualitative influence of the shape of the different parts of the Cp curve on the generator design is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a seven-phase surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machine with a lower fundamental winding factor than the third harmonic current component is considered and a prototype has been manufactured: the ability of the machine to provide smooth torque is experimentally confirmed through the implementation of a simple MTPA control which copes with high distortion in no-load voltage.

TL;DR: This paper investigates the reliability of 3-phase, 2×3-phase and 5-phase inverters for a marine propulsion application and enhancement obtained by changing the current control strategy makes the motor to operate with reduced but sufficient performances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of a bi-harmonic five-phase surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machine for marine propulsion is presented. And the magnet layer is defined to reduce the cogging torque and to make third harmonic current injection increasing average torque and reducing pulsating torque in the same time.
