Abstract
This paper investigates the torque characteristic and multi-objective optimisation (MOO) of the multi-layer flux-barrier less-rare-earth permanent magnet synchronous machine (MLFB-LRE-PMSM) used for the electric vehicles (EVs). This study explores the variation of torque characteristics with current angle under different winding current conditions, and thoroughly analyses the influence of permanent magnet (PM) structure parameters on reluctance torque, PM torque and the proportion of reluctance torque in the electromagnetic torque. On this basis, the sensitivity analysis method based on Sobol sequence and joint Sobol index is adopted, which not only simplifies the traditional analysis process, but also effectively considers the interaction effect between the optimisation objectives. Finally, a cooperative optimisation strategy of improved whale optimisation algorithm (WOA) and genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed, which is successfully applied to the MOO design of MLFB-LRE-PMSM. The results show that the improved WOA algorithm shows excellent optimisation performance and can be used as a new solution in the field of motor optimisation. At the same time, the engineering practicability of the proposed collaborative optimisation scheme is verified by finite element simulation.
