Design optimization and efficiency enhancement of linear induction motor

الملخص EN

This paper presents the dynamic behavior of a Single Sided Linear Induction Motor (SLIM) by changing many design parameters of a reference model of SLIM then an optimization process is adopted to give the final equivalent circuit of the proposed modified model.

This analysis is prepared by using MATLAB package, version 7.8 (R2009a) for optimization and enhancement evaluation.

The improvement in performance is performed by enhancing the efficiency power factor product (cos) which can be regarded as the enhancement criteria for the modified model of this motor.

This factor improved from 0.23 of the reference model to 0.66 of the optimized model.
