Abstract

This paper reviews the current state of the double-stator permanent magnet vernier (DS-PMV) machine technology. At first, the recent advances in PMV machines are presented. In the following, the classification of various PMV machines' configuration is elucidated. In general, this review covers the principle of better understanding of the novel PMV machines' topologies using different windings configurations, flux modulation poles and stator/rotor structures.
