Abstract :
Computational fluid dynamics has been coupled with an optimization algorithm to design a crucial component in a high-voltage circuit breaker (CB). The multiobjective optimization has been used to search for an optimum design for two switching cases simultaneously, revealing potential tradeoffs or conflicts. The use and applicability of response surface methodology (RSM) is presented.
