Abstract

This chapter presents a brief summary of the design fundamentals including the analysis models and methods for electrical machines and drive systems, based on our design experiences, particularly for permanent magnet electrical machine with soft magnetic composite cores. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature, these design models and methods will be investigated at the disciplinary level, including electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, power electronics, and control algorithm designs. Several design examples will be presented to illustrate the corresponding design models and methods based on our research findings, such as the finite element model for design analysis of motors, and the model predictive control algorithm and its improvement form for the drive systems. These models and algorithms will be employed in the design optimization of electrical machines and drive systems in the following chapters.
