Systematic Optimization of Electromagnet Hardware for Electromagnetic Suspension: A Fusion of Simulation and Multi-Objective Optimization Techniques

This paper introduces a novel multi-objective optimization (MOO) framework for the design of electromagnets in electromagnetic suspension systems. Traditionally focused on mechanical properties, electromagnet design often necessitates subsequent control system adjustments. Our approach aims to streamline this process by integrating mechanical design with controller performance from the outset. The paper highlights the inefficiencies of iterative design due to long production lead times and presents a solution through our proposed MOO framework. Key contributions include the development of the framework and its application in the simulation of an electromagnet, demonstrating a more efficient and balanced design approach.
