This work deals with the design optimization of electrical machines under the consideration of manufacturing uncertainties. In order to efficiently quantify the uncertainty, blackbox machine learning methods are employed. A multiobjective optimization problem is formulated, maximizing simultaneously the reliability, i.e., the yield, and further performance objectives, e.g., the costs. A permanent magnet synchronous machine is modeled and simulated in commercial finite element simulation software. Four approaches for solving the multiobjective optimization problem are described and numerically compared, namely: ε-constraint scalarization, weighted sum scalarization, a multi-start weighted sum approach and a genetic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
