In this study, a combined ON/OFF and conformal mapping method is applied to the permanent magnet shape optimisation of the surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). The magnet shape has a profound impact on the cogging torque and torque profile of the SPMSM. The proposed method is based on the combination of the conformal mapping and ON/OFF methods, which can reduce computation time significantly as compared with methods that are based on the finite-element method (FEM). For the optimisation process, genetic algorithms are used and applied to three cases. Finally, the FEM is used to verify the magnetic model and characteristics of the optimised machine.
