The design of a 10 kW high-speed generator is optimized in this research. The objective is to optimize the design parameters of the high speed generator namely pole body width, pole shoe height, pole shoe width for the responses (pole shoe flux density, pole body flux density, rotor yoke flux density, efficiency, shaft torque, exciting current, exciting current density). Response surface face centered design is used for experimental design and mathematical modelling. Then salp swarm algorithmwhich is a recently invented meta-heuristic algorithmis used for performing the optimization. The experimental data is obtained from ANSYS MAXWELL simulations. The confirmations are also performed by ANSYS MAXWELL. The results show that the SSA is a good optimizer for these types of electric machines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
