Abstract :
Permanent Magnet (PM) machines constitute a favored drive choice in electric traction applications due to their increased efficiency. Design optimization of such machines could enhance their ability to satisfy contradictory static and dynamic requirements. In this paper a Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm for PM machine design optimization, coupled with a finite element analysis (FEA) is employed.
