摘要

To address the operational characteristics of gravity energy storage systems, this paper proposes an optimized design method for a switched reluctance machine (SRM) suitable for a gravity energy storage system. A novel 12/8 salient stator tooth structure is introduced to enhance performance in both energy storage and power generation modes. Four key optimization objectives are defined: average torque and torque ripple in the energy storage state, as well as generation power and efficiency in the power generation state. The influence of structural parameters on these optimization objectives is systematically analyzed and a multi-objective optimization of the structural parameters is conducted by the Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) algorithm. Finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to evaluate the electromagnetic characteristics of the optimized design. The results demonstrate that the proposed SRM achieves superior performance compared to the traditional 12/8 SRM, making it well-suited for gravity energy storage applications.
