METHOD FOR DESIGN AND CUSTOMIZATION OF A MULTIPHASE ELECTRIC MOTOR

摘要

A method for designing and customizing a multiphase motor provides reduced modeling and customization time by utilizing a lumped parameter model (LPM) of the multiphase motor. In addition, during the design process, environmental factors, monitoring results of multiphase motors used in the field, market requirements, and the particular application for which the multiphase motor is to be used are all taken into account by the design method. Thus, by considering such factors together with the LPM of the multiphase motor allows the method of the present invention to optimize the overall design of the multiphase motor so that is achieves high reliability, high efficiency, and low cost.

1. A method for designing and customizing a multiphase electric motor comprising the steps of:
selecting a candidate electric motor design; determining whether said candidate electric motor design meets one or more physical constraints; calculating operating performance parameters using a lumped parameter model (LPM) of said candidate electric motor design if said one or more predetermined physical constraints are met at said determining step; determining whether said performance parameters of said candidate electric motor design meet or exceed one or more predetermined operating performance values; evaluating an objective function based on said candidate electric motor design if said one or more operating performance values are met or exceeded at said determining step; and storing said candidate electric motor design.
