Design Optimization of an Outer Rotor Pmsm for a Drive Cycle Using an Improved Mode Algorithm for a Lightweight Racing Vehicle
(IEEE, 2020) Cosdu, Muhammed Muhsin; Hacan, Ahmet Furkan; Tekgun, Burak
Hub motors are widely used for light-weight electric drives. The aim of this paper is to design a highly efficient out-runner permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for a specific drive cycle in order to use it in an electro mobile contest called the "Efficiency Challenge". A multiobjective differential evaluation (MODE) algorithm is used to obtain a variety of different design options. The MODE algorithm is altered to incur less computational cost and yield better-distributed results in a comparison with traditional MODE. The alteration is performed in five different aspects: Pareto Front, Selection Algorithm, Population Size, Scaling Factor, and Rectification. The objectives for differential evaluation optimization are minimizing the motor mass and maximizing efficiency for the target drive cycle. The voltage limit and the torque ripple are defined as constraints. The optimization algorithm is written in MATLAB and the finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted in ANSYS/Maxwell 2D. The modified MODE algorithm is optimized for the PMSM with 100 generations and 3282 candidate designs. A well-distributed Pareto optimal solution set is obtained, and a suitable design is selected to be manufactured.

Effect of the Stator Slot Indents on Fluid Damping Loss in Submersible Pump Applications
(IEEE, 2022) Tekgun, Didem; Cosdu, Muhammed Muhsin; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, Irfan
In this study, the effect of fluid damping on the performance of a 2-pole, 4-kW line start synchronous reluctance machine (LS-SynRM) with different slot opening structures for submersible water pump applications is investigated. Since the submersible pump motors run inside a fluid-filled environment and the fluid viscosity and density differ from the air, it causes an increased damping effect comparing air-filled machines. Hence, a non-negligible damping loss occurs. In this study, the damping effects of the fluids in a 24 slot LS-SynRM for various stator slot indentations are investigated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) finite element analysis (FEA) to highlight the importance of the fluid damping loss in flooded machines. Results show that the damping loss can go as high as 10% of the motor output power when the stator surface has indentations, and this loss can be cut down to 3.5 % when the surface indentations are eliminated with custom no-slotting wedge structures.

Investigation of the Effects of Multi-Layer Winding Structures in Two Pole Synchronous Reluctance Machines
(IEEE, 2021) Tekgun, Didem; Cosdu, Muhammed Muhsin; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, Irfan; Muhsin Cosdu, Muhammed
In this paper, a comparative study is performed between single, various double, and triple-layer winding structures to investigate the effects of the winding MMF harmonics and end winding length on the two-pole synchronous reluctance machines (SynRM). A two-step design approach is used including winding and geometry optimization using multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) algorithm. In the first stage, a Pareto front is obtained which determines the number of turns for each coil group for all winding configurations. Later in the second stage, three results are selected from the first stage to perform a geometric optimization to distinguish the effects of the THD and end winding length on the synchronous performance of a 4 kW two-pole SynRM. For the same average torque output, efficiency, mass, and the torque ripple of the selected designs are investigated and compared. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that rather than focusing on shortening the end winding length, reducing the MMF harmonics have a more positive effect on the machine performance as reduced harmonics resulted in efficiency improvement up to 2 points and torque ripple is reduced up to 8 points while having similar motor mass.
