For electrical machines with complex structures, the design space of parameters can be large with high dimensions during optimization. Considering the calculation cost and time consumption, it is hard to optimize all the design parameters at the same time. Therefore, in that situation, sensitivity analysis of these design parameters is usually used to sort out crucial parameters. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis-based Taguchi method is applied to optimize the axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with yokeless and segmented armature (YASA) topology for an in-wheel traction system. According to the key parameters and their sensitivity analysis, the optimal machine scheme to meet the performance requirements can be formed. In this case study, the machine performance is improved significantly after optimization. Lastly, the experimental results verify the accuracy of the model used in this study.
