A Multi-objective Optimization Framework for the Design of a High Power-Density Switched Reluctance Motor

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are reliable, robust, and magnet-free, but they have relatively lower power density, higher torque ripple and vibration. With the design and control optimization, the drawbacks of an SRM can be addressed. However, the relationship between geometry parameters and optimum control parameters can make the design of an SRM challenging. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization framework for the design of a …
