ABSTRACT
This chapter is using 2D-FEM only for key validation, after each cycle of optimal design, based on an advanced nonlinear analytical model, in order to reduce drastically the computation time. This was prompted by the complexity of IM topology that, when FEM-based only, requires large computation effort.
It includes a realistic analytical model for IM design with design scheme, design variables, induction machine dimensions, rotor design, stator slot dimensions, IM parameters, IM optimal design approach by modified Hooke–Jeeves algorithm and, respectively, genetic algorithms, machine performance, and conclusion on optimal design comparisons, all on a case study with a user-friendly computer code available online, but illustrated comprehensively by results in this chapter to facilitate “deep and fast” learning.
