Abstract

The optimal design of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors requires a long time because finite element analysis (FEA) is performed repeatedly. To solve this problem, many researchers have used artificial intelligence to construct a prediction model that can replace FEA. However, because the training data are generated by FEA, it takes a very long time to obtain a sufficient amount of data, making it impossible to train a large-scale prediction model. Here, we propose a method for generating a large amount of data from a small number of FEA results using machine learning. An automatic design system with a deep generative model and a convolutional neural network is then constructed. With its sufficient data, the proposed system can handle three topologies and three motor parameters in a wide range of current vector regions. The proposed system was applied to multi-objective optimization design, with the optimization completed in 13-15 seconds.
