A vehicular generator has stringent requirements on its weight and volume. As a combination of permanent magnet and electric excitation motor, hybrid excitation machine could meet the requirements of vehicular generator, with small size, light weight, adjustable output voltage. In this paper, an axial flux stator partition hybrid excitation brushless synchronous generator (ASHG) is proposed. First, the structure and operation principle of ASHM is illustrated. Afterwards, the shape of the magnetic pole is optimized to obtain the air-gap flux density with low harmonic content. Moreover, the regulation performance of the magnetic field and output voltage are investigated by three dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA). The result indicates that ASHG has a high performance of adjusting terminal voltage. It can improve the generator efficiency, power density and stability comparing with the conventional vehicular generator.
