ABSTRACT

Summary Mechatronics engineering typically involves dealing with challenges related to designing and upkeeping mechanical and electrical systems. The subtractive averaging-based optimization algorithm is a commonly used method for minimizing system errors by iteratively adjusting parameters to enhance system performance and stability. In this thesis, the advantages and disadvantages of this optimization algorithm in solving the corresponding problems are investigated by applying the subtractive averaging optimizer to some electromechanical engineering problems. The final optimization results in solving Gas Transmission Compressor Design and Planetary Gear Train Design Optimization are very similar to the theoretical values, but for Optimal Setting of Droop Controller for Minimization of Reactive Power Loss in Islanded Microgrids problem the optimization values are more different from the theoretical values. It was found that the subtractive averaging optimizer is beneficial for solving electromechanical engineering problems in some specific problems.
