A study of the notch shape optimization for a BLAC motor by using the Response Surface Method and Improved Simplex Method

In this paper, the design method of minimizing the cogging torque for the Interior Permanent Magnet Motor(IPM) is proposed by using the hybrid algorithm. The suggested optimization algorithm is conducted by combining Response Surface Method(RSM) and Improved Simplex Method. The result shows the improved characteristics compared to conventional methods, such as the shorter calculation time and the acquisition of more correct solution.
