A Novel Reliability-Based Optimal Design of Electromagnetic Devices Based on Adaptive Dynamic Taylor Kriging

This paper proposes an efficient reliability-based optimization algorithm based on adaptive dynamic Taylor Kriging (ADTK). In the ADTK model, the basis functions are optimally selected by the binary particle swarm optimization algorithm and the minimal number of sampling data with a desired fitting error is decided. To evaluate performance of reliability calculation, the Monte Carlo simulation method is employed, where the performance constraint functions are constructed by the ADTK surrogate model. Overall, an electromagnetic application-superconducting magnetic energy storage device (TEAM problem 22) is used to investigate performances of the proposed method.
