Power Magnetic Devices: A Multi-Objective Design Approach

Presents a multi-objective design approach to the many powermagnetic devices in use today

Power Magnetic Devices: A Multi-Objective Design Approachaddresses the design of power magnetic devices—includinginductors, transformers, electromagnets, and rotating electricmachinery—using a structured design approach based on formalsingle- and multi-objective optimization.

The book opens with a discussion of evolutionary-computing-basedoptimization. Magnetic analysis techniques useful to the design ofall the devices considered in the book are then set forth. Thismaterial is then used for inductor design so readers can start thedesign process. Core loss is next considered; this material is usedto support transformer design. A chapter on force and torqueproduction feeds into a chapter on electromagnet design. This isfollowed by chapters on rotating machinery and the design of apermanent magnet AC machine. Finally, enhancements to the designprocess including thermal analysis and AC conductor losses due toskin and proximity effects are set forth.

Power Magnetic Devices:

• Focuses on the design process as it relates to power magneticdevices such as inductors, transformers, electromagnets, androtating machinery
• Offers a structured design approach based on single- andmulti-objective optimization
• Helps experienced designers take advantage of new techniqueswhich can yield superior designs with less engineering time
• Provides numerous case studies throughout the book tofacilitate readers’ comprehension of the analysis and designprocess
• Includes Powerpoint-slide-based student and instructor lecturenotes and MATLAB-based examples, toolboxes, and design codes

Designed to support the educational needs of students, PowerMagnetic Devices: A Multi-Objective Design Approach also servesas a valuable reference tool for practicing engineers anddesigners.  MATLAB examples are available via the book supportsite.
