Sistema abrangente de otimização de projeto de enrolamentos elétricos

Abstract

The utilization of optimization tools may provide a significant increase in competitiveness at modern companies. The application of such tools may be suitable for almost every production activity. For the manufacturers of power system equipment, the need for customized design for each project demands considerable efforts from the project team on a day-to-day basis. The development of appropriate tools for the design optimization of electrical windings yields significant improvements in productivity of the project team, with the proper exploration of the construction and design alternatives available to the manufacturer. This thesis outlines na optimization method with analytical and enumerative characteristics, which take into consideration the technical requirements of the desired winding to discard the inadequate solution alternatives. The development of simplified calculation procedures allows the fast and comprehensive analysis of the solution space, dispensing with large blocks and reducing the solution space to a reasonable dimension for enumerative purposes. Accurate but complex and computationally heavy models for calculation are replaced by simple equations, with sufficient accuracy to provide a good comparative analysis. The procedure was implemented for the design optimization of air core circular coils.
