Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this paper, a proposed numerical frozen permeability modeling procedure is fully
derived to accurately estimate the parameters of two variants of wound-field flux modulation
machines (WF-FMMs) namely: wound-field flux switching machine (WF-FSM) and DC-excited
vernier reluctance machine (DC-VRM). During the procedure, the contribution of saturation to the
variation of the machine parameters is investigated. The parameter variation effects on the machine
performance is also investigated. It is shown that analysis of WF-FMMs is better understood by using
the proposed procedure which computes accurately the machine parameters.
