1. Example of an automatic motor design workflow Figure 1. Example of an automatic motor design workflow. Traditional electric motor automatic optimization typically requires users to define the exact ranges for each design variable, necessitating some preliminary studies on the motor’s geometry to determine sufficient bounds for the design variables. Too narrow bounds increase the...
Feasibility Study of Transitioning to Ferrite Magnets for EV Traction Motors Authors: Vladimir Kuptsov, Salvador Magdaleno-Adame, Sergei Fironov, Alexander Varentsov At its 2023 Investor Day presentation in Texas, Tesla revealed its plans to produce its next generation EV motor without any rare earth minerals. “We have designed our next drive unit, which uses a permanent-magnet...
1. Electric motor design optimization overview Electric motor automatic optimization is a sophisticated process that leverages advanced software and algorithms to enhance the design of electric motors, maximizing their efficiency and performance. The primary objective is to adjust the motor’s geometry, and potentially other parameters, to achieve optimal performance metrics such as torque density, power...
