Abstract

Two variants of permanent magnet (PM) based integrated starter generator (ISG) machines were compared for use during development of a new hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Such a system design generally has high efficiency requirements, mainly regarding high power/weight ratio at minimal size. Another criteria is high reliability for high-speed operation. In a study of Ricardo, two types of ISG were compared: One with permanent magnets placed on the surface of the rotor and the other with magnets integrated within the rotor core.
