Energy storage systems (ESSs) play a very important role in recent years. Flywheel is one of
the oldest storage energy devices and it has several benefits. Flywheel Energy Storage …

This paper reviews the progress that has been made in the analysis and design of axial-flux
permanent-magnet machines over the past decade, with particular attention to aspects such …

Bearingless permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous motors (BPMSMs) are a new type of
machines combining the characteristics of conventional PM synchronous motors and …

In this paper, a novel design of a one degree of freedom actively positioned bearingless
motor, hereafter referred to as a single-drive bearingless motor, has been proposed. The …

The disturbance and uncertainty of the motor drive systems are very complicated terms.
There is no exception for the slotless-self bearing motor (SSBM), where the perturbations of …

Active magnetic bearings enable contactless operation and can therefore be used for
supporting rotors spinning at high speeds. However, the rotational speed in conventional …

The ever increasing penetration of renewable and distributed electricity generation in power
systems involves to manage their increased complexity, as well as to face an increased …

This paper presents the design process, detailed analysis, and prototyping of a novel-
structured line-start solid-rotor-based axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) motor capable of …

In this paper, a multiphase bearingless motor (MBLM) with a single set of half-coiled winding
is proposed, with advantages such as simpler construction and capability of fault-tolerant …

This paper describes a novel one-axis actively regulated bearingless motor with a spinning
top-shaped rotor, which is intended for a use as a cooling fan. This motor requires only one …
