Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Methods for Electrical Machines and Drive Systems

This book presents various computationally efficient component- and system-level design optimization methods for advanced electrical machines and drive systems. Readers will discover novel design optimization concepts developed by the authors and other researchers in the last decade, including application-oriented, multi-disciplinary, multi-objective, multi-level, deterministic, and robust design optimization methods. A multi-disciplinary analysis includes various aspects of materials, electromagnetics, thermotics, mechanics, power electronics, applied mathematics, manufacturing technology, and quality control and management. This book will benefit both researchers and engineers in the field of motor and drive design and manufacturing, thus enabling the effective development of the high-quality production of innovative, high-performance drive systems for challenging applications, such as green energy systems and electric vehicles.

Broadens your understanding of new material and topology structures for innovative motor and drive system design optimization Shares many tips and insights into Six-Sigma robust design optimization to achieve high-quality drive systems from an industrial manufacturing perspective Provides in-depth knowledge of application-oriented, system-level design optimization methods to aim for optimal performance on the system rather than component level Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
