A multi‐objective optimisation design method for passive power filter devices is proposed to solve the input current harmonic suppression problem of the aircraft starter/generator system. The parameters of the filter device are optimised by using the particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The proposed algorithm takes harmonic parameters, DC voltage drop, total volume and weight as the optimisation target. With these optimisations, the filter has the minimal volume and weight, while the current harmonic and the DC side voltage drop are able to meet the power quality requirements. This approach improves the filter design procedure with advantages of the reduced amount of calculation. Finally, theoretical analysis and computer simulation validate the effectiveness and viability of the presented algorithm.
