Abstract

As the development of microprocessors, power electronic converters and electric motor drives, electric power steering (EPS) system which uses an electric motor came to use a few year ago. Electric power steering systems have many advantages over traditional hydraulic power steering systems in engine efficiency, space efficiency, and environmental compatibility. This paper deals with design and optimization of an interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor for power steering application. Simulated Annealing method is used for optimization. After optimization and finding motor parameters, An IPM motor and drive with mechanical parts of EPS system is simulated and performance evaluation of system is done.
