Resumen
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to decrease the computation time that the large number of simulations involved in a parametric sweep when the model is in a three-dimensional environment.
Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a new methodology combining the PCE and a controlled, elitist genetic algorithm is proposed to design IPT systems. The relationship between the quantities of interest (mutual inductance and ferrite volume) and structural parameters (ferrite dimensions) is expressed by a PCE metamodel. Then, two objective functions corresponding to mutual inductance and ferrite volume are defined. These are combined together to obtain optimal parameters with a trade-off between these outputs.
Findings – According to the number of individuals and the generations defined in the optimization algorithm in this paper, it needs to calculate 20,000 times in a 3D environment, which is quite time-consuming.
But for PCE metamodel of mutual inductance M, it requires at least 100 times of calculations. Afterward, the evaluation of M based on the PCE metamodel requires 1 or 2 s. So compared to a conventional optimization based on the 3D model, it is easier to get optimized results with this approach and it saves a lot of computation time.
Originality/value – The multiobjective optimization based on PCEs could be helpful to perform the optimization when considering the system in a realistic 3D environment involving many parameters with low computation time.
