This paper focuses on the design and analysis of a high-speed axial flux permanent magnet (PM) machine for an aerospace flywheel energy storage system. The design target is to experimentally verify the sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF) considering the mechanical stress limitation of the machine at a speed of 32 000 r/min. Two machine models based on ferrite and SmCo PMs have been proposed. First, the back EMF analysis using a 3-D finite-element method is performed to determine the performance of the two models. Second, the mechanical stress analysis is performed to check the durability of the rotor strength. Finally, the selected model utilizing the ferrite PMs has been manufactured and tested at 32 000 r/min to validate its effectiveness at high-speed operation.
