A novel evolutionary algorithm is used for the optimization of the thrust force of the stages of an electromagnetic aircraft launch system, based on a double-sided tubular linear induction motor. A semianalytical model allows for a fast and accurate prediction of all the electromagnetic quantities in the device, including the thrust force, the back electromotive force, the distribution of the induced current density, and the average magnetic flux density in the teeth. Using the semianalytical formulation, the characterization of the machine is greatly facilitated, so allowing a fast evaluation of the cost function and of the design constraints.

Linear Induction motors (LIM) are widely used in industrial applications, especially in linear motion locomotive systems. These applications require high efficiency with good power factor. Mostly LIM suffer from low power factor and less efficiency. Due to this energy consumption is high and also it draws more input current. In this paper, a novel multi objective Taguchi algorithm (TA) is proposed to meet required efficiency and power factor in the design of a Linear Induction Motor. Hence, LIM dimensions can then be optimized by using a TA in an appropriate objective functions. 2-D Finite Element Method is adopted to analyze the flux density in LIM with the parameters obtained using TA. From the results it is observed that the proposed algorithm outperforms the Genetic algorithm (GA) and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) with respect to the power factor and efficiency.Keywords: Linear Induction motor, dynamical model, Taguchi Algorithm, FEM analysis. IntroductionLinear Induction motor is a special conventional rotary motor that is in use to achieve rectilinear motion rather than rotational motion. Linear Induction Motors are usually preferred for achieving linear propulsion in variety of applications due to easy maintenance, high acceleration or deceleration and produce a direct thrust without any conversion of energy. This increases efficiency, the useful life of the system and reduces maintenance costs [1].

Linear Induction motors (LIM) are used extensively in industrial applications, especially in transportation systems. These applications need high efficiency with high power factor. Mainly LIM suffer from two major drawbacks, low power factor and low efficiency. These drawbacks cause high energy consumption and high input current. In this paper, a novel Harmony Search optimization algorithm is proposed to meet required efficiency and power factor in the design of a Linear Induction Motor. Finite Element Method is adopted to analyze the flux density in LIM with the parameters obtained using HSA.
