Application of the Fireworks Algorithm to the Superconducting Coil Design for Magnetic Energy Storage System

This article describes an optimal design approach for a double-layer coil, intended for a superconducting magnetic energy storage system. The method is based on the fireworks algorithm. Under a maximum mechanical stress of 500 MPa, the coil stores an energy of approximately 150 J for a total length of 200 m of 2G HTS tape 12 mm wide operating at a temperature of 77 K.
