Topology Optimization and AI-based Design of Power Electronic and Electrical Devices

Topology Optimization and AI-based Design of Power Electronic and Electrical Principles and Methods provides an essential foundation on the emergent design methodology as it moves towards commercial development in such electrical devices as traction motors for electric motors, transformers, inductors, reactors, and power electronics circuits. Opening with an introduction to electromagnetism and computational electromagnetics for optimal design, the work outlines principles and foundations in finite element methods and illustrates numerical techniques useful for finite element analysis. The book summarizes the foundations of deterministic and stochastic optimization methods, including genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization and simulated annealing, alongside representative algorithms. Sections delve into parameter optimization and topology optimization of electrical devices alongside current implementations, including magnetic shields, 2D and 3D models of electric motors, and wireless power transfer devices.
