2d Hybrid Analytical Model Based Performance Optimization For Linear Induction Motors, Michael Thamm
2d Hybrid Analytical Model Based Performance Optimization For Linear Induction Motors, Michael Thamm
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis the domain of double-layer, single-sided, 3-phase, integral slot winding, linear induction motor (LIM)s is analyzed. Motor meta parameters such as slots and poles are difficult to optimize since they drastically effect the configuration of the motor and require heuristic optimization implementations.
A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGAII) was implemented with the Platypus-Opt Python library. It serves as a robust, yet flexible integration while maximizing thrust and minimizing the mass of each motor iteration. Each iteration was accurately modelled using the hybrid analytical model (HAM), producing the necessary performance parameters for the NSGAII’s objective function. Field plotting …
