Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) are widely adopted in several fields, including More Electric Aircraft applications, due to their enhanced performance. In this paper a comparison between two types of PMSMs, used to drive an oil pump for aircraft applications, is presented. A fast automatic tool for the analytical pre-design is proposed, in order to obtain a reasonable sizing of the machine. Then, finite element analysis is carried out so to accurately evaluate and compare the obtained machines. In particular, the comparison is focused on 4 key performance indexes: mean torque, torque ripple, losses and efficiency. Finally, starting from the output of the analytical pre-design, an optimization procedure based on genetic algorithms is performed.

Abstract
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) are widely adopted in several fields, including More Electric Aircraft applications, due to their enhanced performance. In this paper a comparison between two types of PMSMs, used to drive an oil pump for aircraft applications, is presented. A fast automatic tool for the analytical pre-design is proposed, in order to obtain a reasonable sizing of the machine. Then, finite element analysis is carried out so to accurately evaluate and compare the obtained machines. In particular, the comparison is focused on 4 key performance indexes: mean torque, torque ripple, losses and efficiency. Finally, starting from the output of the analytical pre-design, an optimization procedure based on genetic algorithms is performed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
