Abstract

Increase of energy consumption and air pollution are big crises in recent two decades. Due to these crises and also increase of energy costs, utilization of hybrid electric vehicles becomes conventional and vehicle companies are increasing their investment in these kinds of vehicles. The main issue for these vehicles, besides energy storage system, is efficiency of electric motor and its weight and cost. Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (AFPMSM) have become popular for hybrid vehicles as they have better efficiency and less weight. In this paper an AFPMSM, which would be used in hybrid electric vehicles, is designed to get less weight and cost and more efficiency. PSO and GA algorithms have been applied in this design. Inner and outer diameter of axial flux permanent magnet motor and air gap flux density are taken as variables in the mentioned design.
