Optimizing parameters for a dynamic model of high-frequency HID lamps using genetic algorithms

Abstract

This work is carried out to optimize the basic parameters of a dynamic model of high-frequency high intensity discharge lamps, which includes the effect of the phenomenon of acoustic resonance on the electrical parameters of the lamps. Hybrid modeling techniques are used, taking as their starting point the energy balance equations inside the lamp. The optimization of parameters is carried out using techniques based on genetic algorithms, included in the global optimization toolbox of Matlab. The implementation of the model is performed in Matlab R2011a. The result is a dynamic model for HID lamps at high frequency, validated for a high-pressure sodium lamp.
