Abstract

This paper presents a literature review on magnetic gears, highlighting the advantages of using these technologies for mechanical power transmission applications in wind energy conversion systems and transportation, such as in electric vehicles. Magnetic gear technologies have important advantages over their mechanical counterparts. They can perform the speed change and torque transmission between input and output shafts by a contactless mechanism with a quiet operation and overload protection without the issues associated with conventional mechanical gears. The paper describes the fundamentals and operating principle of the field-modulated magnetic gear topologies and investigates the magnetic torque transmission mechanism. However, despite all the advantages highlighted in different research and development reports, there is still no convincing evidence to show that magnetic gear technologies are an acceptable alternative for industrial applications. The aim of this paper is to summarize previous work on magnetic gears to identify the topologies most suited for mechanical power transmission systems in wind energy conversion systems and electric vehicle applications. These applications will show that research and development of magnetic gear technologies contribute significantly to solutions for sustainable systems, a subject to which our current civilization must pay a lot of attention.
