In the case of an induction motor efficiency optimal design for electric vehicle which is a real world problem, several different designs are almost equal in terms of efficiency. But these designs may have the differences in terms of other characteristics such as power factor, temperature rise, material cost, and ease of manufacture. Therefore it is necessary that an optimization routine suggests various possible solution alternatives and a designer selects optimal solution among them using other characteristics, his experience and judgment. In this paper new niching genetic algorithm and the rating function method to select the optimal point among possible optimal solution alternatives are presented.
