TRAJECTORY OPTIMIZATION FOR LOSS MINIMIZATION IN INDUCTION MOTOR FED ELEVATOR SYSTEMS
project center in trichy
This
paper presents a novel loss minimization technique for Induction Motor Driven
Elevator Systems (IMDES) to determine an energy optimum velocity pattern. The
objective function consists of a differential equation relating total power
losses in the induction motor to its rotor speed. The constraints are provided
in terms of velocity and acceleration governed by passenger comfort. Since, the
velocity and acceleration are state variables, Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle
is used to determine the most optimum trajectory by forming an appropriate
Hamiltonian function. Boundary conditions are specified and used to obtain the
coefficients of the rotor speed equation. As the velocity is optimized, the
total travel time is not fixed and treated as a variable. A fixed-point
iterative procedure is used to estimate the travel time. Additional loss
minimization is incorporated by optimizing the machine flux for the constrained
portion of the velocity pattern. An algorithm for implementing the optimization
scheme is explained in detail. The theoretical claims are supported with
analytical and experimental results. Proposed technique is developed for IMDES,
but it can be easily adapted to other drive applications as well.
