This paper briefly reviews methods of optimisation applicable to electrical machine design with emphasis on deterministic techniques, then focusing on synchronous generator design optimisation. The case selected to demonstrate the validity of the approach is that of derivative generator design, based on an existing stator lamination. A single criterion deterministic optimisation algorithm, developed using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) technique, has been employed to obtain an optimum efficiency permanent magnet synchronous generator.
