A Knowledge Based System architecture to manage and automate the electrical machine design process

Industrial Design of Electric Machines Supported with Knowledge-Based Engineering Systems

“…To accomplish a final industrialized electric machine product, in previous work [12], we proposed a three V-model methodology by merging VDI-2221/2206 standards. The model is divided into concept, component, and industrial V-cycles.…”

“…Aside from containing the knowledge base with designers' know-how, the KBE application also commands the different steps following a series of standardized macro-processes and a set of micro-processes belonging to the specific company. In previous work [12], we proposed a three V-model methodology adapted by merging the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) 2221/2206 standards and decomposed them into concept, component, and industrial V-cycles. The scope herein presented is to begin the development of the KBE system with the industrial V-cycle, in other words, from standardized parts (dies, shafts, housing, etc.)…”

“…(1) a knowledge base generation process based on MOKA methodology (MOKA stands for Methodology and software tools Oriented to Knowledge based engineering Applications); this methodology implementation is new regarding the electric machine domain. Furthermore, it provides a specific knowledge base structure and management implementation in a SysML tool; (2) the systematic implementation of macro-processes by the adaptation of VDI-2221/2206 standards to the electric machine design development process [12]; (3) the use of a set of micro-processes known by electric machine designers and some new ones recently published by the research team [13,14]; and (4) finally, a real KBE system implementation example for the elevator industry that shows the novelty of an architecture that allows less software development effort for the creation of a complete KBE system solution by integrating commercial SW tools.…”

A Requirement Engineering Framework for Electric Motors Development

“…Manufacturers from emerging countries offer low-cost competitive products. In this context, small-medium size electric motors design/manufacturing companies have survived due to their offer of specialized tailor-made products [10]. Therefore, to support these companies to cope with the specification stage, this paper aims to contribute to the field of requirement engineering for electric motors by providing a new macro-process framework with a systematic approach derived from the experience of the authors.…”

ORU-CAD Algorithm for Computer-Aided SLD Selection for 35- to 220-kV Outdoor Switchgears

“…Системы автоматизированного проектирования (САПР) значительно облегчают работу проектировщика и сокращают время, затрачиваемое им на решение рутинных задач, освобождая его для принятия решений, требующих не только знаний в предметной области, но и творческого подхода. В сфере проектирования объектов электроэнергетики, САПР широко внедряются в области проектирования электрических машин [1][2][3][4][5]. Так в [5] рассмотрен вопрос оптимизации конструктивного исполнения распределительного трансформатора на основе модификации генетического алгоритма.…”
