The master's thesis describes optimization methods that are part of the Matlab computer program and presents particle swarm optimization performed on an electric permanent magnet synchronous motor.
The master's thesis is divided into two major parts. The first part describes all the optimization methods available in the Matlab global optimization software package. In addition to popular natural algorithms such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and particle swarm optimization, the package also includes less known but still commonly used methods such as pattern search optimization, surrogate optimization, multi-start optimization and global search. The software package also enables multiobjective optimization. The overview of the optimization methods is divided into a description of the methods, the course of an optimization and a presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
The second part is intended for testing the particle swarm method on the problem of optimizing a synchronous motor with surface-mounted permanent magnets. Prior to the optimization, the design process of the synchronous motor is described on the basis of the given required nominal data. The analytically designed synchronous motor was initially optimized based on the criteria that the motor has the highest possible value of the quotient of the nominal torque and the mass of the iron parts of the motor. The optimized engine has a quotient value 23,4-% higher than the original engine. Then, the same original synchronous motor was further optimized based on the criteria that the motor has the highest possible value of the product of nominal torque and motor efficiency. The optimized motor has a product value 76,2-% higher than the original one. Calculations using the FEMM 4.2 simulation program were also performed on all three versions of the synchronous motor. The magnetic flux density distribution in the cross section of the motor was calculated, as well as the nominal torque characteristics and cogging torque. In the optimized versions, in addition to increasing the amplitude value of the nominal torque, the amplitude value of the cogging torque was also increased.
