Abstract

PurposeThis paper proposes a spoke-type fractional-slot concentrated windings (FSCW) permanent magnet (PM) machine for special vehicle driving systems to obtain higher torque and power density, high efficiency and wide field-weakening range. To enhance the efficiencies of multi-objective optimization processes, the respond surface (RS) method and black-hole (BH) algorithm are used.Design/methodology/approachThe spoke-type FSCW PM machine is optimized to meet the requirements of the special vehicle driving system. The combination of the RS and BH algorithm is used to obtain high torque, low torque ripple and high efficiency.FindingsThe optimal spoke-type PM machine is obtained, and it has higher torque density, lower torque ripple, cogging torque and wider magnetic field weakening range. Finally, a 15-kW prototype machine is fabricated and tested to verify the results of the optimization method and finite-element analysis.Originality/valueThis paper designs a high torque density and efficiency spoke-type FSCW PM machine, which is superior for special vehicle driving systems. Meanwhile, the RS model combined with BH algorithm is applied to the field of electrical machine multi-objective optimal design.
