In the design procedure of the motor, a cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is used as an optimization tool.For the purpose of this research work, a computer program for optimal design of electrical machines based on the CS optimization has been developed. Based on the design characteristics of SPBLDCM, some of the motor parameters are chosen to be constant and others variable. A comparative analysis of the initial motor model and the CS model based on the value of the objective function, as well as the values of the optimization parameters, is performed and presented. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/10045 | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1108/COMPEL-01-2018-0025 |
