Within this framework, a doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) generator was conceived by optimizing the stator size and rotor structure to minimize the torque ripple and maximize the root-mean-square (RMS) voltage value per turn of each generator phase. Firstly, a comparison between the 2D and 3D finite element method (FEM) models is made considering the results of 3D finite element analysis (FEA) as our benchmark in order to understand the accuracy of the 2D results against our benchmark model, the 3D one. A multi-objective design strategy based on a 2D FEA is made, it is set to have characteristics closest to optimal for a Boeing 767 turbine, that is, the necessary electromotive force for a required power of 90 kW at 3000 rpm, feeding a simplified Boeing 767 electrical power distribution system. The results show that the machine could not deliver the required power at 3000 rpm since the 2D FEA demonstrates that the 2D model gives optimistic results when compared with the 3D FEM model. However, with a 3D FEA of the machine feeding the aircraft load, it was seen that the machine\u2019s efficiency is 92%, suggesting that this machine can be a plausible solution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/en17071698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]],"date-time":"2024-04-03T00:58:38Z","timestamp":1712105918000},"page":"1698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Operational Analysis of an Axial and Solid Double-Pole Configuration in a Permanent Magnet Flux-Switching Generator"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3082-9688","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel Garcia","family":"Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1049 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5536-9038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Ferreira","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Institute (IDMEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1049 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7072-5184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo Jos\u00e9 da Costa","family":"Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Institute (IDMEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1049 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"646","DOI":"10.1109\/TTE.2018.2834142","article-title":"Electrical power generation in aircraft: Review, challenges, and opportunities","volume":"4","author":"Madonna","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
