A Review of Active Magnetic Bearings Supported Systems Optimization Design
Zhong Min Wan
Abstract
Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have attracted a lot of attention due to their various advantages from its noncontact and actively controlled features. The challenges of the further wide spread of AMBs include the extensive knowledge required in designing the complex system and thus the high design cost. Multi-objective Optimization solves this challenge by providing AMB designers multiple solutions to achieve the best compromised objectives. Different optimization techniques and their applications onto AMBs are summarized. Future trends of AMBs supported system optimization are also discussed.
