Abstract:

Salient-pole synchronous motors, starting, will have torque pulsations due to non-uniform reluctance in the air gap. These pulsations can cause fatigue damage leading to the failure of associated mechanical components. At the motor design stage, it is possible to analyse the variables responsible for torque pulsation. This paper uses a novel optimization technique, 'Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA)', to reduce pulsating torque during starting by choosing optimium variables. Further, the optimization technique has been extended to two objectives using the Non-Dominated Sorting Whale Optimization Algorithm(NSWOA).

Keywords:

Salient-pole synchronous motor, Torque pulsation, Whale Optimization.
