The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm and computer script for the optimization of permanent magnet synchronous machines with self-starting properties.
The optimization script consists of two independent modules: (a) optimization procedure and (b) a finite element models describing the investigation of line-start permanent magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSM). The proposed modification of the chimp optimization algorithm improves the convergence and reliability of the optimization procedure. The multiobjective compromise function consists of three components describing the functional parameters of the optimized machine. The field-circuit mathematical model of the dynamics operation of the LSPMSM was elaborated in Ansys and consists of: transient electromagnetic field equations, equations describing external electric circuits and mechanical motion equations.
The proposed optimization procedure containing the chimp algorithm can be applied to the optimal selection of the selected parameters of the various permanent magnet motors. The optimization algorithm was modified to obtain better convergence. The proposed modification involves the use of different types of changes in the parameter characteristic of the group of best-adapted individuals in the chimp troop. The developed optimization procedure was adapted to optimization LSPMSM.
The proposed optimization algorithm and optimizing procedure can be successfully applied to solve the design problems of the LSPMSM.
