Abstract

In the coming years, the electrification and the deployment of the electric motors in the urban transports will become a reality more and more widespread. The optimization stage of the electric motors usually does not consider in detail the real driving conditions of the car in which the motor is installed. It follows that the actual motor performance in operating points, especially as regards the torque ripple and the efficiency, might be worsen than expected. A robust solution is a required target. This paper deals with the design and optimization of a high speed permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor for traction applications, according to both city and highway driving cycles. A procedure is employed in order to evaluate the most representative operating points, which have to be considered for the global optimization. An analysis of the robustness of the solutions has been performed. Both results and advantages of the adopted methodology are highlighted.
