Abstract :
In recent research, magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC)-based tools have been developed to enable multi-objective optimization of wound-rotor synchronous machines (WRSMs). The tools have been validated through comparison with finite element based models and hardware experiment. Herein, a focus is placed on the analysis of the machines on the Pareto-optimal fronts (POF) of a 2 kW WRSM drive system. Various POFs have been created under alternative design constraints. The analysis is used to shed light on several interesting trends in design variables including pole count, d-axis stator current, turns, and airgap.
