Abstract :
In this study, an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machine has been optimized for design using the Taguchi method. Five factors have been selected for optimizing, each of which has four levels. A total of sixteen experiments have been conducted according to Taguchi´s L-16 orthogonal arrays. The variable to be optimized has been selected to be the air gap flux. Results from the 16 experiments have been analyzed with ANOVA. Finally, from ANOVA analysis, the best level for each of the factors and the regression equation have been determined.
