چکیده

در چند دهه اخیر، تکنیک‌های بهینه‌سازی الهام گرفته از طبیعت، محبوبیت ویژهای را در مهندسی تجربه کرده‌اند. این تکنیک‌ها رقابت سختی را در مقایسه با روش‌های عددی سنتی دارند که گرفتار پیچیدگی پیوستگی هستند و معمولاً از یک جستجوی مبتنی بر گرادیان حساس به راه‌حل اولیه، استفاده می‌کنند. درحالی‌که تکنیک‌های الهام گرفته از طبیعت اولیه به‌طور خاص توسط متغیرهای بهبودیافته و تکاملی، بررسی شده‌اند. روش‌های محاسبه مبتنی بر جمعیت به‌ویژه برای حل مشکلات چندهدفه به دلیل توانایی تولید راه‌حل‌های بهینه پارتو  در یک اجرا، جذاب هستند. در این مقاله از دو الگوریتم تکامل تفاضلی و کرم شب‌تاب به‌عنوان معیارهای عملکرد موتور رلوکتانس سوئیچی به‌عنوان درایو میله کنترل در یک نیروگاه هسته‌ای استفاده ‌شده است. این کار، با هدف غلبه و بهبود بخشیدن بر نقطه‌ضعف قابل‌توجه موتور رلوکتانس سوئیچی که دارای گشتاور موج‌دار است، به کمک کنترل جریان موتور بر اساس کنترلر PI در یک کنترلر حلقه بسته، انجام می‌شود. نتایج شبیه‌سازی، اثربخشی و مزیت عملکرد موتور رلوکتانس سوئیچی را در نرم‌افزار MATLAB/SIMULINK در زمان واقعی، نشان می‌دهد.

چکیده [English]

Over the previous few decades, bio-inspired (BI) organic process improvement techniques have experienced extraordinary popularity in the field of engineering. These techniques gift a troublesome competition to ancient numerical procedures that suffer from convexity and continuity assumptions and that usually use a gradient based mostly search that's sensitive to the initial resolution. Whereas initial BI techniques specially have been investigated by novel and improved variants. The population primarily based computing strategies are notably engaging for finding multi-objective (MO) problems due to their capability of producing an outsized variety of Pareto-optimal solutions in one run. In this paper, two algorithms of firefly and differential evolution concept is proposed as a performance metrics for switched reluctance motor (SRM) as control rod drive in small modular reactor. This work aims to prevail and amend the remarkable drawback of switched reluctance motor, which is torque ripple, by executed current control of the motor based on the PI controller in a closed-loop controller. Furthermore, the output power of the plant is optimized to trace the reference properly. The effectiveness and advantage of the system control scheme are presented in MATLAB software in real-time.
