@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2097, title = {Induction Motor Design with Limited Harmonic Currents Using Particle Swarm Optimization}, author = {C. Thanga Raj and S. P. Srivastava and Pramod Agarwal}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper presents an optimal design of poly-phase induction motor using Quadratic Interpolation based Particle Swarm Optimization (QI-PSO). The optimization algorithm considers the efficiency, starting torque and temperature rise as objective function (which are considered separately) and ten performance related items including harmonic current as constraints. The QI-PSO algorithm was implemented on a test motor and the results are compared with the Simulated Annealing (SA) technique, Standard Particle Swarm Optimization (SPSO), and normal design. Some benchmark problems are used for validating QI-PSO. From the test results QI-PSO gave better results and more suitable to motor-s design optimization. Cµ code is used for implementing entire algorithms. }, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {10}, year = {2008}, pages = {2348 - 2354}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2097}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/22}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 22, 2008}, }
