 Abstract   A multiobjective optimization procedure for the design of interior PM motors based on Differential Evolution algorithm is presented. A comparative analysis has been carried out for the optimized 5 kW, 50 kW and 200 kW IPM motors with two and three layers of cavities in the rotor to show design trade-offs between goals to minimize the motor volume while maximizing the power output in the field weakening regime with the back emf constraint as the main limiting factor in the design. The finite element method has been used to calculate the motor parameters during the optimization process. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology has been shown on a 1.65 kW IPM motor with two layers of cavities in the rotor for which a prototype has been built and tested.
