Optimization design of the modified SST based on adaptive genetic algorithm

The coupling of magnetic, thermal and structural force fields exists in the design, manufacture and operation of the magnetic core of transformer and motor, which makes the experimental data obtained from the standard magnetic properties measurement inconsistent with the actual problem. In order to obtain the magnetic properties measurement data of soft magnetic materials such as electrical steel sheet under multiple physical factors, the magnetic circuit structure was improved on the basis of the standard single sheet tester. At the same time, anti-bending clips made of polyether ether ketone were installed in order to prevent the bending deformation of the sample sheet during the application of tensile stress which would lead to uneven force. Then0 this basic structure of the tester under the coupling of temperature and stress is designed. In order to further improve the excitation performance of the tester and the magnetization uniformity of the sample, combined with COMSOL and MATLAB co-simulation, adaptive genetic algorithm was used to optimize the size of the yoke and excitation coil, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution in the measurement area of the sample. Finally, by combining simulation and specific experiments, the loss measurement results of a single sheet tester under different ambient temperatures and different stresses are studied, which proves that the tester is feasible and accurate, and the variation law of complex magnetic characteristics of electrical steel sheets under multiple physical fields is summarized.
