Abstract

To meet the high- performance requirements of new energy vehicle drive, the optimization design of 8/6 Switched Reluctance Motor is realized based on finite element parametric modeling of the motor. Firstly, the initial design of motor structure parameters is carried out based on the mathematical model of Switched Reluctance Motor, and the simulation model of the motor is built using RMxprt platform, and the debugging of the characteristics of the wide speed range of the motor is finished. Then, the parametric finite element model of the motor is generated, and the stator and rotor pole arc coefficients of the motor are selected as the optimization variables, and the multi-objective compromise optimization of the torque characteristics and efficiency of the motor is carried out by using the Quasi-Newton method weighting method. Finally, the magnetic field distribution, torque characteristics, efficiency and speed range characteristics before and after optimization are compared, proving that the optimized Switch Reluctance Motor can achieve multi-objective performance optimization. The motor designed by this modeling optimization method can improve the requirements of vehicle driving better.
