Optimization of specific power of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor based on genetic algorithm optimization technique for an electric vehicle application is presented. Double rotor sandwiched stator topology of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC motor is selected considering its best suitability in electric vehicle applications. Rating of electric motor is determined based on vehicular dynamics and application needs. Double rotor sandwiched stator axial flux PMBLDC motor is designed considering various assumed design variables. Initially designed axial flux PMBLDC motor is considered as a reference motor for further analysis. Optimization of the specific power of electric motor for electric vehicle applications is a very important design issue. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) based optimization technique is proposed for optimization of specific power of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC motor. Optimization with an objective of maximum specific power with the same torque rating is performed. Three-dimensional finite element analysis is performed to validate the proposed GA based specific power optimization. Close agreement between results obtained from finite element analysis and analytical design establishes the correctness of the proposed optimization technique. The performance of the improved motor is compared with the initially designed reference motor. It is analyzed that the specific power of axial flux PMBLDC motor is enhanced effectively with the application of GA based design optimization technique.</span></span></span></div>

This paper presents the design optimization of axial flux surface mounted Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motor based on genetic algorithm for an electrical vehicle application. The rating of the motor calculated form vehicle dynamics is 250 W, 150 rpm. The axial flux surface mounted Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor was designed to fit in the rim of the wheel. There are several design variables e.g. air gap flux density, slot loading, magnet spacer width, ratio of outer to inner diameter, air gap length, current density and space factor). The main contribution in the present work is to propose the best combination of design variables obtained using genetic algorithm (GA) optimization technique and design of motor based on optimized design variables. Final validation is carried out with the help of 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) for GA based constraint and unconstraint design. The entire procedure based on GA is explained with the help of block diagram. Efficiency of the axial flux surface mounted PMBLDC motor is enhanced from 88.15 to 91.5 % using GA based design optimization. Proposed optimization technique and methodology will be useful for performance improvement of any nonlinear engineering design involving various design variables for specific application.
