Abstract
Ultra-high-speed (UHS) surface-mounted permanent-magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) are widely used for driving air compressors. UHS SPMSMs can suffer from high stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss due to their high rotational speed and changes in the magnetic flux density when loading. Since these losses do not have a linear trend but change according to the motor design parameters, mathematical models cannot always predict them. This study aims to design UHS SPMSMs based on a kriging surrogate model that takes into account the stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss. Since the kriging surrogate model is highly predictive for nonlinear inputs, it is the perfect candidate to take into account the stator iron loss and rotor eddy current loss. The design proposed in this study allowed to minimize the size and losses of a motor that satisfied the power specification.
