Abstract
The availability of new high-field permanent-magnet materials has crea ted opportunities for novel topologies of electrical machines with adv antageous characteristics such as high efficiency and good power/weigh t ratio. A disc-type arrangement, with slotless winding and axially-di rected flux in the air gap, has particularly short axial length and is well suited for system integration as either generator or motor. Appl ications include auxiliary power units, electric vehicle drives and wi nd power generation.
