Optimization of medium voltage load break switchgear using multiple objective evolutionary algorithms

Medium voltage load break switchgears switch on and off of the electrical energy under load at 12.5kV - 36 kV voltage levels. Most important part of load break switchgears is epoxy resin body. In this study, epoxy resin body design optimization with multiple objective evolutionary algorithm was investigated depending on electrical and mechanical requirements. 3D parametric design models and analyzes were made using Ansys. The design parameter selections were made by employing multiple objective evolutionary algorithms.
