Optimum Design of a Five-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Naval Applications using Bees Algorithm *

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

Multi-phase  motors  are  increasingly  used  in  electrical  systems  due  to  their  benefits  such  as  decreased  current
without  decreasing  voltage,  decrease  of  DC  link  current  and  improved  reliability.  Major  applications  of  such
motors are naval systems, electric vehicles, spacecrafts and etc. besides, permanent magnet motors has gained
researchers’ attention due to their simple design, high efficiency and power density, low volume and weight and
minimum  loss  and  noise.However,  electrical  motors  companies  are  under  pressure  and  they  have  to  present
devices with minimum financial charges. The first and the most important aspect in electrical machines design is
to decrease the volume and weight and consequently improve their power density and efficiency. In other word,
improvement is done by optimizing machines’ dimensions.This thesis presents design optimization of five-phase
permanent magnet synchronous motors to use in underwater vehicles. For this purpose, motor is optimized using
optimization  Bees  algorithm  (BA)  to  have  less  volume  and  weight  and  best  operational  characteristics.  Then,
motor is simulated using Ansoft Maxwell which is based on finite element analysis. This software gives required
information about performance of the motor. Finite element analysis is an accurate and valid method which is
used extensively in analyzing such problems.
