Abstract :
A special switched reluctance motor for a fractional horsepower and high speed hand tool is studied in order to improve its torque characteristic. This task is accomplished by optimizing some rotor geometrical parameters with the aid of a numerical approach based on the application of simulated annealing and Kriging method. Finite element simulations are used to evaluate the approximation points for the Kriging model. The numerical results are compared to tests on a prototype.
