Systemic Multi-Objective Optimization of Induction Motor-Driven Electromechanical Systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
The optimization of electromechanical systems, such as those involving induction motors and gearboxes, is crucial for improving energy efficiency, system performance, and reliability in industrial applications. This paper presents an advanced methodology for optimizing the energy efficiency of electromechanical systems, integrating both mechanical and electrical subsystems to minimize the system's overall weight, energy losses, and transient response time. The optimization problem is approached holistically, considering the interdependence of various system parameters and applying multi-objective optimization techniques to address conflicting objectives. The analysis focuses on optimizing the gearbox speed ratio to minimize the relative weight of the motor-gearbox system while maintaining operational efficiency. A systemic approach, utilizing convex surrogate modeling and multi-stage gearboxes, is proposed to improve the scalability of the solution. The results demonstrate the existence of optimal gearbox speed ratios for various motor sizes and configurations, offering insights into the best design choices for minimizing system weight and optimizing performance. These findings apply to a range of real-world systems, including electric vehicles and industrial machinery, where minimizing weight and optimizing energy efficiency are critical for improving overall system performance and reducing operational costs.
