Evolution of Electric Motor Design Approaches: The Domel Case

Abstract

The paper presents the evolution of geometry design approaches in the optimisation of an electric motor, more specifically its rotor and stator. It starts with the initial manual approach, which was replaced with the automatic approach that introduced evolutionary algorithms to allow the intelligent search in collaboration with evaluation tools. Next, the new platform for remote optimisation was recently introduced that allows remote optimisation with various algorithmic approaches, including multi-objective optimisation. At the end we propose further solutions that will improve high performance of the design process.
