Description
Summary:This research is concerned with design optimization of control systems. Our case study deals with magnetic levitation, in which an essential part is a solenoid. Its dimensions, along with controller parameters, form the optimization variables. We present a novel way of writing the explicit expression of the solenoid’s force acting on a magnetic dipole, as well as its first derivatives. Numerical tests using non-gradient search algorithms show the difference in optimal designs provided by these methods. Since such optimization depends on output signals, a comparison of step response analysis methods is presented.
