An adaptive response surface method with Latin Hypercube sampling strategy is employed to optimize a magnet pole shape of large scale BLDC motor to minimize the cogging torque. The proposed algorithm consists of the multi-objective Pareto optimization and (1+${\lambda}$) evolution strategy to find the global optimal points with relatively fewer sampling data. In the adaptive RSM, an adaptive sampling point insertion method is developed utilizing the design sensitivities computed by using finite element method to get a reasonable response surface with a relatively small number of sampling points. The developed algorithm is applied to the shape optimization of PM poles for 6 MW BLDC motor, and the cogging torque is reduced to 19% of the initial one.

대용량 BLDC 모터의 진동과 소음의 원인은 영구자석과 슬롯형상에 의한 코깅토크와 전류 파형에 의한 고주파이다. 특히 대용량 BLDC의 경우 코깅토크에 의한 진동 및 소음의 영향이 상대적으로 큰 값을 가지게 되며, 본 연구는 5MW급 연구자석형 전동기에서 코깅토크 발생원인 중 하나인 영구자석의 형상을 최적화하기 위하여 RSM(Response Surface Method)과 민감도기법을 적용하여 코깅토크 저감을 위한 연구를 하였다. FEM에 의해서 자속밀도분포와 토크를 계산하고, 1개의 목적함수와 3개의 설계변수를 설정하여 최적화 하였다. FEM과 최적화기법(RSM+민감도기법)을 결합하여 영구자석의 형상을 최적화한 결과 코깅토크의 ripple이 최대 20%정도로 감소되었으며, 목적함수와 설계변수의 개수에 따라 더욱 개선될 수 있다.

This paper studies that torque model considered with decaying phase back-EMF is different In conduction and commutation period and analyzes the torque pulsation components mathematically. In this paper, it is proposed a novel method to suppress torque pulsation due to commutation time. First, it propose commutation delay time control method, which is to compensate current slope of rising phase and decaying phase to control commutation time. Current ripple is minimized at non-commutating current and torque ripple is reduced below critical speed range that dc link voltage is the same as four times of back-EMF voltage. However, torque ripple still exists due to the relation with back-EMF and commutating current and it is increased on a large scale above critical speed range, especially. Secondly, proposed method is commutation time control, which is considered with torque pulsation due to the relation of back-EMF and commutating current. Through the proposed method, the torque pulsation can be minimized in the whole speed range as well as range over critical speed.
