Torque Pulsation Minimization of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using the Taguchi Method

Abstract:

The torque pulsation was minimized using the Taguchi methods in this paper. The analytical model of torque was derived by the energy method. The Taguchi optimization method was used to generate the experiment samples, which were calculated in 2-D and 3-D FEA. Three different parameters of PMSM, such as skew ratio, pole embrace and stator slot width were optimized. ANOVA was used to analysis the effect of different factors in Taguchi method. The superiority of the optimized PMSM was also verified further through FEA.
