“…Besides the widely used material like steel sheet, some newly developed magnetic materials like soft magnetic composite (SMC), amorphous and grain-oriented silicon steel show better characteristics, such as high saturation flux density, low specific losses, and low manufacturing cost [45][46][47][48][49][50]. They can be employed to design motors with new topologies, higher efficiency and/or low manufacturing cost.…”

“…However, as a very brittle material, its mechanical characteristics highly depend on the manufacturing process. To make full use of this kind of material in the motor design, special attention should be paid to the design of new motor topologies and manufacturing process [49,50]. Thus, a good motor design should be good in terms of both output performances and manufacturing abilities.…”

Electrical machines are the hearts of many appliances, industrial equipment and systems. In the context of global sustainability, they must fulfill various requirements, not only physically and technologically but also environmentally. Therefore, their design optimization process becomes more and more complex as more engineering disciplines/domains and constraints are involved, such as electromagnetics, structural mechanics and heat transfer. This paper aims to present a review of the design optimization methods for electrical machines, including design analysis methods and models, optimization models, algorithms and methods/strategies. Several efficient optimization methods/strategies are highlighted with comments, including surrogate-model based and multi-level optimization methods. In addition, two promising and challenging topics in both academic and industrial communities are discussed, and two novel optimization methods are introduced for advanced design optimization of electrical machines. First, a system-level design optimization method is introduced for the development of advanced electric drive systems. Second, a robust design optimization method based on the design for six-sigma technique is introduced for high-quality manufacturing of electrical machines in production. Meanwhile, a proposal is presented for the development of a robust design optimization service based on industrial big data and cloud computing services. Finally, five future directions are proposed, including smart design optimization method for future intelligent design and production of electrical machines.

“…4) The application of new materials. With the development of manufacturing, some materials like the amorphous alloy (AA), which cannot be used formerly in motor, can be made as the core material for a motor [35]. All of these applications can improve the performance of motors, which are attracting great attention in recent years.…”

This paper presents an overview of multi-machine drive systems for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), with a particular focus placed on the different system architectures and their key technologies. Some typical configuration topologies such as two-machine system for HEV, wheel drive system, multi-motor drive systems and compoundstructure integrated machines system are investigated in this paper. Some fundamental technologies for multi-machine drive systems are discussed, with emphasis on machine structures, operation modes, and control strategies. Then, comparisons are made among various multi-machine drive systems and a new multi-machine drive system topology is reported, namely the modular cascade machines (MCM) drive system. Keywords: multi-machine drive systems; electric vehicle (EV); hybrid EV (HEV); modular cascade machines (MCM)I.

In this paper, an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) with a stator core made of amorphous magnetic material (AMM) is presented. The IPMSM is driven by a voltage source three-phase inverter with classical pulse width modulation (PWM) control. The core losses under no-load condition are measured by experiment and compared to an equivalent IPMSM with a stator core made of NO steel. Under these conditions, the core losses are influenced by the stator, rotor and magnet shapes but also by the PWM carrier signal that implies a high frequency harmonic in the magnetic flux density. It is demonstrated that the AMM can reduce the core losses by about 56 %.
