Axial-flux slotted permanent magnet machines possess high power density and are suitable for wind turbine applications, where two-sided axial-flux configuration is superior to one-sided configuration [1]. There have been studies on axial flux machines (AFM) for wind turbines (e.g., [2]); however, very few of them discussed cogging torque, which is undesirable and can affect the cut-in speed of the turbine. Previous studies often used coreless designs [3] to avoid cogging torque, but these result in low power density [1]. For high power density, the double-rotor slotted AFM is investigated here for wind turbine application, with a solution put forward for the inherent cogging torque.
