Optimum design criteria for maximum torque density & minimum torque ripple of Flux Switching Motor using response surface methodology

This paper deals with optimum design criteria for maximum torque density & minimum torque ripple of Flux Switching Motor (FSM) using response surface methodology (RSM) & finite element method (FEM). The focus of this paper is to find a design solution through the comparison of torque density and torque ripple according to rotor shape variations. And then, new type winding method & optimum turns of armature/field winding is introduced, and numerical analysis & experiment is conducted to confirm the appropriate solution for the optimized model. The proposed procedure allows the definition of the optimum rotor dimensions and armature/ field turns starting from an existing motor or a preliminary design.
