Application of modified FBT algorithm in induction motor series optimal design

Some improvements are made for Fast Boundary Tracking algorithm according to the practice of the electric machine design in the paper. As discrete variables play a dominant role in determining the values of the objective function and the constraint functions in the motor optimal design, the algorithm is improved in the paper. From the algorithm, a software is developed and used for the optimal design of the induction motors of Y series. The results show that the algorithm is reliable and efficient.
