2.2.2 Air Gap Flux Density<br />

Figure 2.1 Single <strong>winding</strong> dissimilar pole number distribution<br />

In the <strong>dual</strong> <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> machine, the common <strong>stator</strong> core is shared by<br />

two sets <strong>of</strong> <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong>s, which implies the presence <strong>of</strong> two simult<strong>an</strong>eous MMF<br />

distributions along the air gap. The question is how to avoid the deep saturation problem<br />

when the designed <strong>dual</strong> <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>machines</strong> are working under different load<br />

conditions. The <strong>an</strong>swers lie in finding <strong>an</strong> appropriate method to evaluate the flux density<br />

for the <strong>dual</strong> <strong>stator</strong>-<strong>winding</strong> machine <strong>an</strong>d designing the flux density for each <strong>stator</strong><br />

<strong>winding</strong> set. In [2.1], the issue was considered for a specific example, however the<br />

general conclusions were not presented. In [2.2], three methods are listed that c<strong>an</strong> be used<br />

to evaluate the magnetic flux density <strong>of</strong> a BDFM. The first method is a conservative one,<br />

in which the peak value <strong>of</strong> flux density <strong>of</strong> the <strong>dual</strong> <strong>stator</strong>-<strong>winding</strong> machine c<strong>an</strong> be found<br />

by adding the peak value <strong>of</strong> flux densities <strong>of</strong> two <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> sets together. The<br />

expression is shown as:<br />
