Abstract: This paper deals with the shape optimization of the claws of a claw-pole synchronous machine. A hybrid model combining 3D FEM and Permeance Network is developed for this purpose. The optimization of the average torque with fixed stator geometry is performed using Mesh Adaptative Direct Search methods. The developed methodology has led to improve the performances of claw-pole synchronous machines used in mild-hybrid vehicles.

Keywords: Claw-pole synchronous machine, optimization, 3D finite element, coupled model, permeance network model
