Improved Method For Distributed Parameter Model Of Solenoid Valve Based On Kriging Basis Function Predictive Identification Program

In this paper, a method for the improvement of the calculation accuracy of the distributed parameter model (DPM) of electromagnetic devices is proposed based on the kriging basis function predictive identification program (PIP). Kriging is mainly an optimal interpolation method which uses spatial self-covariance, and takes a polynomial as the basis function. The accuracy of the kriging-based surrogate model can be improved by adjusting the related functions and hyperparameters. Based on the DPM of a solenoid valve, there exist certain errors in the estimation. They can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the estimation error of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) permeance is caused directly by the deviation of the magnetic flux tube due to the segmented magnetic field line. Secondly, the estimation error of soft magnetic resistance because of the nonlinearity of the permeability of soft magnetic material leads to the change of soft magnetic resistance alongside the magnetic flux. In this paper, an improved kriging error correction method is applied to modify the leak permeance and soft magnetic resistance calculation. The kriging basis function is adjusted to adapt to the data curve of the MFL permeance error data. The calculated MFL permeance data are compared with the error variation data to select the appropriate basis function. To improve the computational efficiency, the PIP is proposed to select the appropriate basis function. The modified MFL permeance data and soft magnetic resistance are substituted into the DPM for improving the computational accuracy and efficiency of the solenoid valve.
