This book presents various computationally efficient component- and
system-level design optimization methods for advanced electrical machines and
drive systems. Readers will discover novel design optimization concepts
developed by the authors and other researchers in the last decade, including
application-oriented, multi-disciplinary, multi-objective, multi-level, deterministic,
and robust design optimization methods. A multi-disciplinary analysis includes
various aspects of materials, electromagnetics, thermotics, mechanics, power
electronics, applied mathematics, manufacturing technology, and quality control
and management. This book will benefit both researchers and engineers in the
field of motor and drive design and manufacturing, thus enabling the effective
development of the high-quality production of innovative, high-performance
drive systems for challenging applications, such as green energy systems and
electric vehicles.
