Description
Summary:A computer-aided design system for variable-reluctance generators is described. The generators are the prime source for a direct-current electric power system. The design system employs Monte Carlo synthesis, fast approximate electromechanical analysis, and optimization based on multiattribute dominance. As an output, the design system provides a database of dominant generator designs and the corresponding performance of the power system. The operation of the design system is illustrated through the design of a generator for a 270 V, 10 kW, 10 krpm aerospace power system.< >
