Genetic Algorithm is a search heuristic that mimics the process of evaluation. Genetic Algorithms can be applied to process controllers for their optimization using natural operators. This paper discusses the concept and design procedure of Genetic Algorithm as an optimization tool. Further, this paper explores the well established methodologies of the literature to realize the workability and ...

This paper presents a novel and efficient method to estimate the equivalent circuit parameters of three-phase induction motor from its manufacturer data for steady state analysis using improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO). The IPSO integrates the particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the chaotic sequences. The optimization problem is based on minimizing the error between the computed pe...

In this paper particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for a design optimization of a linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (LPMSM) considering ultra low thrust force ripples, low magnet consumption, improved efficiency and thrust. The influence of PM material is discussed, too and the modular poles are proposed to achieve the best characteristic. PM dimensions and material, air gap and mo...

A 250 kW / 5 kWh engineering prototype Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) was designed, fabricated and component tested by Adelwitz Technologiezentrum GmbH (ATZ) and L-3 Communications Magnet Motor GmbH (MM). A heavy – load vertical 0.6 ton rotor is suspended totally magnetically by an HTS radial-passive bearing on the top together with a PM bearing at the bottom. Further features are the fl...

Successful optimization processes of highly utilized industrial squirrel cage induction machines enforces fast, reliable and accurate design concepts. Therefore, modern numerical finite element calculation procedures, which incorporate moveable rotor parts, non-linear iron saturation effects and realistic geometric properties, have been systematically established and applied to an induction mot...

This paper aims to design superconducting mag-netic bearing using HTS tape for a ultra high-speed turbo motor operating up 120000rpm. Despite being recent technology compared conventional magnetic bearings, passive bearings have many interesting features, such as re-duced dimensions, easy implementation and excellent dynamic response at high speed. The results of the finite element simulation a...

This paper presents a novel method for designing and sizing high-efficient hydrostatic transmissions (HTs) heavy duty propulsion applications such as agricultural construction machinery.
