Multiplex models for the optimum design of electrical machines

Abstract

One promising way to address the problem of the synthesis of the design of electrical machines is to set it up as an optimization problem in order to benefit from the most effective optimization algorithms to solve it. Some consequences are here derived from this statement concerning the modeling of electrical machines, the formalization of the optimization problem and the required algorithms to solve it. They come from different experiments on the design of electrical machine, each one involving a particular methodology, and already reported. This way, a unified approach of multiplex model is proposed. Coupled with adapted multiobjective optimization algorithms it provides a powerful and promising way of designing electrical machines.
