Description
Summary:In the optimization of high-speed permanent magnet motors (HSPMMs), electromagnetic characteristics, rotor stress, rotor dynamics, and temperature characteristics must all be considered simultaneously, and there are numerous optimization parameters for both the stator and rotor. These factors pose significant challenges to the multiphysics optimization of HSPMMs. Therefore, this paper presents a multiphysics optimization process for the HSPMM of 60 kW 30,000 rpm by combining subspace strategy and sequential strategy to mitigate the issues of high training volume and mutual coupling. Ten optimization parameters of stator and rotor are determined firstly. Then, using finite element analysis of rotor stress and rotor dynamics, the range of values for critical parameters of the rotor is established. Next, in the electromagnetic optimization, the process is divided into rotor parameter subspace and stator parameter subspace according to the subspace optimization strategy. The temperature field is also checked based on the optimization results. Finally, a prototype is manufactured and the comprehensive performance is tested to validate the multiphysics optimization process.
