Thesis Title: “Design of PM-excited Synchronous Motors Dedicated to Battery Electric Trucks Applications” (Grade: 1.3) – Analytical modeling of permanent magnet electrical machines (IPMSM, SPMSM) for design purpose. – FEA based-investigation of the no- and on-load features of the designed PMSMs (Motor-CAD). – FEA based-optimization of the torque production capability: Re-design of rotor and stator (Motor-CAD). – Comparison of the performances of the selected machines (Motor-CAD, MATLAB).

Thesis Title: “FSPMSMs with One Coil Parallel Branches Made Phases: Topological Characterization and Circulating Currents Rejection” – A star of slots-based topological characterization of fractional-slot PMSMs that makes it possible the arrangement of the armature phases according to one coil parallel branches. – Investigation of the back-EMF harmonics to check the possible circulating harmonic currents.
