Abstract
This paper presents a multi-objective optimized design for a 75 kW, 24 000 r/min high-speed surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SMPSM) for a magnetically levitated flywheel energy storage system. The main goal of the optimization process is to determine the optimal motor geometry, and thus obtain maximum efficiency, minimum weight, and minimum torque ripple in the SMPSM. To achieve this goal, three objective functions are used. The first function is used to obtain maximal output torque, and thus produce highest efficiency; the second function is used to minimize materials utilization to realize the lowest possible production cost; and the third function is used to achieve minimal torque ripple, and thus constrain the motor’s vibration and noise. The optimization process uses an ant colony algorithm with continuous domains. The optimized motor parameters can be selected from the Pareto solution set obtained. A comparison of the results calculated using the optimization algorithm with the results obtained using finite-element analysis software shows a good agreement.
