Optimization of Induction Motor Using Genetic Algorithm and GUI of Optimal Induction Motor Design in MATLAB

摘要

In this paper, an optimal design of induction motor using genetic algorithm is discussed and the results obtained are compared with a conventionally designed induction motor. Graphical user interface (GUI)-based user simplified interface is prepared in MATLAB to achieve an optimal design of different power-rated three-phase squirrel cage induction motors. Full-load efficiency and active material cost are chosen as an objective function to be optimized, and based on that, the concept of dual optimization is explained. To achieve the best suitable design, different variables are chosen and different constraints are imposed on the design of induction motor.
