description Abstract This research paper introduces the Double Stator (DS) Hybrid Excitation (HE) Halbach Permanent Magnet (HPM) Flux Switching (FS) machine. The machine construction and its optimization specifically designed for electric vehicle (EV)/hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) traction applications are investigated. The optimization using a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is conducted following a sensitivity analysis-based identification of key optimization parameters and constraints. The finite element results are compared with the performance of a state-of-the-art benchmark FSPM machine having identical PM volume and winding current densities. The proposed design is shown to outperform the benchmark with 16.2% increase in back-electromotive force and 14.7% reduction in cogging torque. Furthermore, the average torque is improved at flux-enhancing operation by 20.8%, and the torque ripple is reduced by 9.9%. Notably, the proposed machine also is capable of flux regulation thereby having the ability to operate in a wide speed range. A detailed explanation of the reasons for the significant improvements in the proposed machine structure is provided to offer a comprehensive understanding of its rationale. These research findings indicate that this innovative DS-HE-HPM-FS machine can enhance the performance of EVs and HEVs.
