Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to show the proposed energy method for inductance calculation is valid for any number of poles, phases and any winding layout.
Design/methodology/approach
A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical energy-based approach is presented to calculate self-inductances and mutual inductances of brushless surface-mounted permanent-magnet machines.
Findings
The proposed calculation procedure is valid for brushless permanent-magnet machines with slotted or slotless stator structure. Comparisons between energy method and flux linkage method are presented based on simulation and experimental results. It shows that the energy method has an excellent agreement with the result obtained from finite element method (FEM) and experimental study.
Originality/value
This paper compares energy-based method with flux linkage method and FEM for inductance calculations in slotless and slotted permanent-magnet motors. The relations for inductance calculation are presented which are obtained based on 2-D analytical representation of magnetic field.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present an analytical electromagnetic model for wound rotor synchronous machines with a salient-pole rotor structure based on the two-dimensional subdomain technique.
Design/methodology/approach
The machine is divided into five active sub-regions: stator slots, stator slot openings, air gap, rotor slots and rotor slot openings. For each sub-region, the governing partial differential equations are derived and solved analytically.
Findings
The magnetic flux density distributions in all active sub-regions are analytically computed and other quantities such as back-emf, inductances, electromagnetic torque and unbalanced magnetic forces are also analytically calculated. The results of the analytical model are compared to those obtained from the finite element analysis to show the accuracy of the proposed model.
Originality/value
The two-dimensional analytical model of a wound rotor salient-pole synchronous machine using the sub-domain technique is the main contribution of the research.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to extract an analytical model for five-phase fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier machines (FTPMVMs) based on the analytical solution of Maxwell’s equations, which has some advantages than the finite element model.
Design/methodology/approach
FTPMVMs enhance the torque density by combining the vernier characteristics and the fault-tolerant feature. The principle operation of FTPMVMs is discussed based on the magnetic field modulation due to both permanent magnets and armature current. The analytical solution of the magnetic vector potential in each sub-region is obtained based on the sub-domain technique.
Findings
According to the calculated magnetic vector potential, the magnetic flux density, torque, self- and mutual inductance and back-electromotive force are calculated. The FEM is used to validate the results obtained from the proposed analytic model.
Originality/value
Two-dimensional analytical method is used to obtain the electromagnetic model of FTPMVMs.
