Torque performance, especially torque density, is a critical performance index for the flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine that is attractive for the propulsion system. In this article, a novel FSPM machine with dual sets of magnet arrangements is proposed. With the novel topology, the torque density of the proposed machine is significantly improved due to much increased working harmonic contents of magnetomotive force (MMF). Moreover, the cogging torque is also inherently reduced, which makes the proposed machine a promising candidate in the FSPM machine family. The operating principle of the proposed FSPM machine is revealed based on the MMF–permeance model and the numerical finite element analysis (FEA). The effect of geometric parameters, such as magnet thickness, auxiliary tooth width, and rotor tooth width on the average torque and cogging torque, is also investigated. Finally, a prototype has been manufactured to validate the analysis conclusion. With experimental test results, it is demonstrated that the proposed topology can achieve 30.8% higher torque density, 79.4% lower cogging torque, and 15.6% higher power factor than the conventional counterpart.
