Optimization alternatives of mechatronic systems containing switched reluctance drives

In mechatronic systems there are several different kinds of optimization alternatives, in particular mechanic, electronic and control means. In this paper, these different possibilities are investigated and compared for a special example: a switched reluctance drive (SRD), energized from a weak supply net, is coupled to an internal spindle-gear to generate a linear output force. Special attention is paid to cost-effective means of optimization
