Summary: | The design of energy-efficient electric motor is a complex problem since diverse requirements and competing goals have to be fulfilled simultaneously. Therefore, different approaches to the design optimization of electric motors have been developed, each of them has its own advantages and drawbacks. The characteristics of these approaches were presented in the previous part of this multipart paper. In this paper, the presented approaches will be assessed with respect to the criteria: degrees of freedom, computing time and the required user experience. A conflict of objectives will become apparent. Based on these findings, requirements for a new design optimization method with the aim to solve the conflict of objectives, will be formulated.
