Optimization of Electromagnetic Devices using a RSM Enhanced ACOR Algorithm

Abstract

The present paper proposes and studies the effi-ciency of using a RSM enhanced ACOR algorithm for the optimization of electromagnetic devices. Different RSM methods, such as Box-Behnken, CCD and Doelhert, are applied to find most suitable parameters (optimal set) for the ACOR in order to solve the corresponding electromag-netic optimization problems. The parameters optimal set is found by building a metaheuristic function. In the same time, the optimal parameter set is searched and determined for each electromagnetic problems for different objective functions, the best and the average global best solution for a tests set. The electromagnetic devices to be optimized are the Loney’s solenoid and an energy storage device, as defined by the TEAM22 problem. Both electromagnetic problems are proposed benchmarks from electromagnetic community. images
