Abstract :
paper present an improved design of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) synchronous machines using PSO algorithm that consider practical limits. At first sizing equations is provided and 20 kW AFPM machine is designed, and then output power density is improved using PSO algorithm. A comparison between improved designed AFPM machine and a prototype constructed machine is performed. Improved machine has more output power density than constructed machine. Then magnetic flux density is calculated based on Maxwell equations analytically. Analytical results have good agreement with finite element method (FEM) results. Use of analytical method takes much less computational time than FEM dose.
