Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electromechanical equipment optimization technology, specifically to a design optimization method for reliability structure-control coupling. Background Technology

[0002] Modern electromechanical equipment is mostly a complex large system, generally involving disciplines including structure, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, electromagnetics, and control. Its design can be viewed as a multidisciplinary design optimization problem. For example, the design of a wind turbine requires simultaneous consideration of structure, aerodynamics, electromagnetics, and control. Traditional multidisciplinary design optimization methods mainly focus on the design of structural parameters, neglecting the coupling between static structural parameters and dynamic control design in the overall system performance, thus failing to obtain the optimal solution at the system level.

[0003] The structure-control coupling design method focuses on the coupling relationship between static structural parameters and dynamic control strategies. It designs static structural parameters and control strategies through iterative sequences, optimizes static structural parameters in the outer loop while designing the corresponding control strategy in the inner loop, or treats the design of structural physical parameters and control strategies as a single optimization problem to be solved holistically. The structure-control coupling design method has been widely applied, improving the design performance of electromechanical equipment systems.

[0004] However, the structure-control coupling design method, as a deterministic design optimization method, cannot handle the multi-source uncertainties that occur during the production of equipment components and the operation of equipment. Electromechanical equipment has a high failure risk during operation, and its reliability is difficult to predict and guarantee.

[0005] On the other hand, reliability-based design optimization methods, including Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) and time-variant RBDO (t-RBDO), only consider the impact of uncertainties in structural or physical parameters on system performance and constraints. They do not involve the design of dynamic control strategies and cannot be applied in the context of structure-control coupling design.

[0006] Currently, research on design methods that consider the impact of design variable uncertainties under the structure-control coupling context is still in its early stages. Among these, methods based on the traditional Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment (SORA) framework assume the feasible region near the index circle is continuous and ignore the impact of control variable variations on reliability analysis, thus severely limiting the range of problems that can be solved. Methods based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion and Monte Carlo simulation require multiple simulations, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, how to optimize the reliability design of electromechanical equipment under the structure-control coupling context remains a challenging problem. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention improves upon the traditional SORA framework applicable to RBDO problems, extending it to structure-control coupled design optimization problems considering reliability. This provides a novel reliability-based structure-control coupled design optimization method. This method proposes a translation vector calculation method for discontinuous feasible regions within the fit index circle, while simultaneously limiting the deviation of control variables obtained from two adjacent deterministic optimization problems. This ensures the effectiveness of the translation vector obtained from the previous reliability analysis in guiding the current deterministic optimization design.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a design optimization method for reliability structure-control coupling, the method comprising:

[0009] A mathematical model for the deterministic structure-control coupling design optimization of electromechanical equipment is established and an objective function is defined to obtain the optimal structural physical design parameters, control variables, and objective function values. Then, the optimal control variables are fixed in the standard normal space, and a reliability analysis is performed on the optimal structural physical design parameters to obtain the corresponding objective function, the maximum possible point In-MPP point within the index circle, and the constraint function values.

[0010] In subsequent iterations, starting from the initial penalty coefficient, and combining the changes in the objective function value and the satisfaction change index of a single constraint function at the In-MPP point, the update index is calculated and the penalty coefficient is updated.

[0011] During the iteration process, the translation vector of the inequality constraint function is first calculated in the standard normal space. Combined with the updated penalty coefficient, the decoupled equivalent deterministic structure-control coupling design problem is constructed and solved to obtain the current optimal parameters. Then, the optimal control variables are fixed to perform reliability analysis to obtain the In-MPP point and constraint function values. If the constraints are satisfied and the change in the objective function is less than the set value, the iteration stops and the optimal result is output.

[0012] Preferably, based on the physical model and application scenario of the electromechanical equipment, a mathematical model for reliability structure-control coupling design optimization is established, ignoring the uncertainties of all variables, and the deterministic structure-control coupling design optimization problem is solved. The objective function is as follows:

[0013] ;

[0014] in, For the structural physical design parameters of electromechanical equipment, For state variables at discrete time points The matrix formed by the values, For control variables at discrete time points A matrix composed of the values ​​of , It is the number of discrete points. For endpoint-type objective function terms (Mayer terms), This is an integral objective function term (Lagrange term). For integral weights, To solve the differential matrix in the pseudospectral method for this type of problem, For the first Inequality constraint functions, The number of inequality constraint functions. For equality constraints, This is the function on the right-hand side of the state equation. and These are the state variables at the start and end points, respectively. and These represent the initial time and the terminal time, respectively. From this, the optimal physical design parameters for the electromechanical equipment structure, without considering the influence of deterministic factors, are obtained.

The number of random variables is used to obtain the In-MPP points within the indicator circle. and the corresponding constraint function values .

[0021] Preferably, the initial penalty coefficient is In subsequent iterations, an update index for the penalty coefficient of the objective function is calculated, and the penalty coefficient is updated according to the index. This indicator comprehensively evaluates changes in the objective function value. The change in the function value of the inequality constraint function at the maximum probability point In-MPP in reliability analysis The penalty coefficient update formula is as follows, where This represents the current iteration number. :

[0022] When the penalty coefficient update indicator is greater than or equal to +1, the penalty coefficient is halved;

[0023] ;

[0024] When the updated metric equals -3, the penalty coefficient is doubled.

[0025] ;

[0026] In other cases, the penalty coefficient remains unchanged;

[0027] ;

[0028] If the current objective function value Compared to the previous objective function value If it is better, then the change in the objective function value is indicated by the marker. If the result is worse, record it as +1; if it is worse, record it as -1; otherwise, record it as 0. The formula is as follows:

[0029] ;

[0030] If the single constraint function value of the In-MPP point If the constraint satisfaction is better than before, then the change index of a single constraint function value is... If it's worse, record it as +1; if it's worse, record it as -1; otherwise, record it as 0. The formula is as follows:

[0031] ;

[0032] in, ;in For the first A constraint function, It represents the relative change in the function value of the constraint function at the In-MPP point between two consecutive iterations. This is a correction factor applied to the constraint function value near zero when solving for the relative change; if the problem has multiple constraint functions, the indices of each individual constraint function value are summed. Simultaneously, the overall index of the constraint function is truncated when it exceeds +2 or falls below -2 to prevent the penalty coefficient update index from becoming more biased towards the constraint function index. This also applies to the function value change index of the inequality constraint function in In-MPP. The calculation formula is as follows:

Simultaneously, it determines whether the change in the objective function of the deterministic structure-control coupled design optimization problem is less than a set value. When all the above conditions are met, stop the iteration and output the optimal structural physical design parameters.

Then, start the next iteration, recalculate the penalty coefficient, update the index, update the penalty coefficient, calculate the translation vector, solve the deterministic design optimization problem after decoupling, and determine the convergence condition until the convergence condition is met.

[0044] This invention extends the SORA framework from the traditional RBDO problem to the solution of the reliability structure-control coupled design optimization problem, solving two technical bottlenecks:

[0045] 1. The reliability assessment conclusions during the intermediate process became invalid due to excessive deviations between two consecutive control variables;

[0046] 2. The discontinuity of the feasible region within the index circle near the mean of the random design variables causes distortion of the translation direction of the translation vector in the original SORA framework;

[0047] Compared with existing technologies, this invention penalizes the deviation values ​​of adjacent control variables in the objective function of the decoupled deterministic structure-control coupled design optimization problem, limiting the optimization range of the current control variable to the effective range of the previous reliability analysis conclusion. This improves the reliability of intermediate results during the optimization process and enhances convergence efficiency. Furthermore, this invention proposes the concept of In-MPP points within the index circle and, based on this, proposes a new method for calculating translation vectors, adapting to the case of discontinuous feasible regions within the index circle. Therefore, this invention expands the application scope of the reliability structure-control coupled design optimization method and improves the convergence efficiency of the design optimization process.

Simultaneously, the overall index of the constraint function is truncated when it exceeds +2 or falls below -2 to prevent the penalty coefficient update index from becoming more biased towards the constraint function index. This also applies to the function value change index of the inequality constraint function in In-MPP. The calculation formula is as follows:
