Abstract:

In this paper, a Wind-Driven Optimization (WDO) based design of a Six-Phase Induction Motor (SPIM) is presented, and it is compared to induction motors that have been traditionally designed and have the same rating. When it comes to the optimization of the design of a six-phase induction motor, a multi-objective function is taken into consideration. When compared to the conventional design motor, it has been shown that the wind-driven optimization-based optimal design yields considerably superior performance. Furthermore, the Finite Element Analyses (FEA) of every single design of a six-phase induction motor are described in this work. The purpose of this research is to determine which solution is the most cost-effective for a particular application by analyzing the performance of the motor. Additionally, in order to validate the validity of the suggested design, the quality parameters that were acquired from the WDO-based design are compared with the motor that was designed traditionally. When compared to a six-phase induction motor with ordinary control, the wind-driven optimization method for six-phase induction motors results gives a better performance like power density, efficiency, and operational power factors. With the proposed control technique, losses are mitigated by 6.7% as compared with conventional SPIM.
