Research on the optimisation of the temperature field distribution of a multi microwave source agent system based on group consistency

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of optimising the temperature field distribution of a multi microwave source agent system, in this work, group consistency is used to explore the multi microwave source agent collaborative tracking strategy to improve both the uniformity of the temperature distribution and the heating efficiency. First, to coordinate the inputting power state information of the multi microwave source agents, a consistency algorithm of non-fully connected communication topology is adopted. Second, according to the efficiency state information of the microwave source agents in different distribution positions of the cavity, the agent group consistency strategy and the group consistency strategy with expected power deviation are used to adjust the power distribution of each agent. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy are verified by using heating materials with different specifications. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional multisource heating method the proposed temperature distribution optimization strategy based on group consistency can improve the temperature uniformity and heating efficiency.
