Abstarct: Axial Flux Permanent Magnet machines have found growing interests in the recent years due to its pancake shape, compact construction and high power density. AFPM machines application are suitable for electrical vehicles, small to medium power generators, application for land transport, space area, airplane propulsion systems, paper industry, ship and submarine propulsion drives and other industrial drives. The unique disc-type profile of the rotor and stator of AFPM machines makes it possible to generate diverse and interchangeable designs. In this thesis, the kinds of axial flux permanent magnet machine topologies are introduced and reviewed. The study was conducted to compare the different topologies and is selected the topology used for the desired application. The initial design of the machine performed by the algorithm design and machine modeling done with Finite Element Method and simulation results presented. Machine optimized to obtain maximum power density values versus diameter ratio (λ) and air gap flux density (Bg) made the optimal parameters are obtained. Finally, a small prototype axial flux permanent magnet machine is manufactured and tested.
