Design Method for Power Generation Systems for Diesel Vehicles Using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine and a Full-Bridge Rectifier

Abstract

This paper describes a design optimization method for power generation systems for diesel vehicles consisting of a permanent magnet synchronous machine, a full-bridge rectifier and phase shift capacitors inserted between them. By combining an analysis method for the proposed systems and a multi-objective optimization method, a trial design optimization was carried out with the aim of minimizing indicators related to the size and weight of the system. Furthermore, the performance of the optimized design was verified by numerical simulations, and it was confirmed that the design achieved the required performance while satisfying the constraints of the system.
