Abstract

An Enhanced version of the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) referred to as (ESSA) is proposed in this paper for the optimization design of electromagnetic devices. The ESSA has the same structure as of the SSA with some modifications in order to enhance its performance for the optimization design of EMDs. In the ESSA, the leader salp does not move around the best position with a fraction of the distance between the lower and upper bounds as in the SAA; rather, a modified mechanism is used. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on the widely used Loney’s solenoid and TEAM Workshop Problem 22 design problems. The obtained results show that the proposed algorithm is much better than the initial one. Furthermore, a comparison with other well-known algorithms revealed that the proposed algorithm is very competitive for the optimization design of electromagnetic devices.
