Selection of optimum dynamic features for mechatronic drive systems

The paper deals with a modelling of electromechanical drive systems incorporating vector control unit. The algorithms of sensitivity analysis and optimization of dynamic features have been elaborated and applied for selection of design features of the system with the aim to minimize dynamic forces in kinematic pairs. The assumed dynamic model takes into account electromechanical couplings and enables computer simulation of dynamic phenomena occurring in kinematic pairs of the drive system for various initial conditions. It is shown that the optimization process is more effective when both mechanical and electromagnetic parameters are used simultaneously. The application of optimization procedures in the design process is an effective aid and may be applied for determining design features of the drive systems considered here.
