Multi-Objective Optimization Design of Nonlinear Magnetic Bearing Rotordynamic System

Abstract

Nonlinear vibrations and their control are critical in improving the magnetic bearings system performance and in the more widely spread use of magnetic bearings system. Multiple objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) simultaneously optimize a vibration control law and geometrical features of a set of nonlinear magnetic bearings supporting a generic flexible, spinning shaft. The objectives include minimization of the actuator mass, minimization of the power loss, and maximization of the external static load capacity of the rotor. Levitation of the spinning rotor and the nonlinear vibration amplitude by rotor unbalance are constraint conditions according to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specified standards for the control law search. The finite element method (FEM) was applied to determine the temperature distribution and identify the hot spot of the actuator during steady-state operation. Nonlinearities include magnetic flux saturation, and current and voltage limits of power amplifiers. Pareto frontiers were applied to identify and visualize the best-compromised solutions, which give a most compact design with minimum power loss whose vibration amplitudes satisfy ISO standards.

A Review of Active Magnetic Bearings Supported Systems Optimization Design

“…The optimization shows that the pole width, coil turns, and pole length are critical design variables affecting the force slew rate while the proportional gain of the PD controller dominates the displacement sensitivity. Zhong, et al [31] used NSGA-II and NCGA to optimize an eight-pole HEMB actuator and PD controller simultaneously. Three objectives were selected, including minimization of the actuator mass, minimization of the power loss, and maximization of the external static load capacity in a transient analysis of the rotor.…”

Multi-Objective Optimization of Planetary Gearbox with Adaptive Hybrid Particle Swarm Differential Evolution Algorithm

“…Regarding the gear train optimization, it is important to analyze the influence of the different contradictory objectives, such as weight or volume, power loss, center distance etc. Therefore, the multi-objective optimization (MOO) problems have received significant attention especially presently in the field of mechanical engineering applications, rotor-dynamic, electrical machine design and wireless communications, etc., [7][8][9][10][11][12]. It is a challenging task, which motivated researchers to have a growing interest in developing optimization methods for solving these problems.…”

Structural optimization and dynamic characteristics of the new type 3-degrees of freedom axial and radial hybrid magnetic bearing

“…For the magnetic thrust bearing, some scholars have adopted genetic algorithm to solve the optimization problem of structural parameters. 16,17 However, the genetic algorithm cannot use local information effectively, and the programming implementation is relatively complex, so it takes a long time to converge to an optimal point. Moreover, the existence of parameters that rely on experience, such as crossover and mutation rates, will seriously affect the quality of the solution.…”
