Description
Electrical machines will always be a subcomponent in a larger system and should therefore be designed in conjunction with other major parts. Only a limited set of parameters, such as weight, size, or speed, is often relevant at a system level, but accurately determining those parameters requires performing a time-consuming detailed design of the electrical machine. This conflicts with a top down system design approach, where initially many different system topologies need to be considered. Hence, there is a need for a consistent and detailed description of the dependency of the interface parameters on machine properties. This paper proposes a method to obtain detailed design trends of electrical machines with a very high level of detail, based on large-scale application of multiobjective optimization using finite element models. The method is demonstrated by quantifying the power density of surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machines versus rotor surface speed, power level, and cooling approach. It is found that power density strongly depends on cooling approach, followed by rotor surface speed, but barely on power level. Ultimately, this paper can be used both as an example when performing a similar design study and as a reference on detailed high-level and low-level machine design trends. © 2015 IEEE.
