Challenges in developing a platform for optimization of induction machines

Abstract

In the paper the platform facilitating the process of design of induction machines are presented. It is deployed at the manufacturer of high power induction machines and used for aiding design engineers in the process search of the set of optimal configurations. It permits treating the highly constrained problem with discrete variables and make use of database of already calculated solutions. One user case of the platform utilization is presented. It is proven that it can be an effective tool for the decreasing the time and the costs of induction machine design procedure.
