Power Density Analysis and Optimization of SMPMSM Based on FEM, DE Algorithm and Response Surface Methodology

Surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SMPMSM) with high power density and good speed regulation are widely used in industrial applications. In order to further improve its power density, this paper studied the relationship between the thickness of the stator yoke, the thickness of the rotor yoke, the relative magnet span of the motor and the motor power density using the finite element simulation method. On this basis, a response surface model between the three parameters and the power density of the motor was established. Based on this model and a differential evolution algorithm, the motor was optimized and the power density was improve
finally, the optimization results were verified using the finite element simulation method. In addition, the optimization results showed that, when other structure parameters remain unchanged, there is an optimal combination of parameters that can maximize the motor&rsquo
s power density, including the thickness of the stator yoke, the thickness of the rotor yoke and relative magnet span of the motor.
