Performance analysis of a series hybrid excited synchronous machine by a hybrid analytical model

The aim of this contribution is to study the performance of a series hybrid excited synchronous machine by a new hybrid analytical model. The hybrid analytical modelling (HAM) approach, based on a direct coupling of analytical solution of Maxwell's equations with reluctance networks (RN), is compared to finite elements modelling (FEM), in term of results quality. Hybrid excited synchronous machines, due to their advantageous characteristics and performance, are good candidates in a large variety of applications: hybrid and electric vehicles, electric generation. The analysis of electromagnetic performance of this hybrid excited machine is also aimed at highlighting the capabilities of the HAM.
