Abstract:

Miniaturization design of the universal circuit breaker is very necessary, but it is not enough to consider only the miniaturization in the design but also consider the energy consumption and breaking capacity of the universal circuit breaker. To this end, a comprehensive optimization design method in this paper is proposed and studied. Firstly, based on the analysis of the universal circuit breaker miniaturization model, combines with the universal circuit breaker’s low energy consumption model and high-segmentation model, a comprehensive optimization model for designing universal circuit breakers is constructed. Secondly, for the comprehensive model solution, an improved gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm is proposed, that is, a “cloud model” is introduced to balance the local search and global search capabilities to improve the convergence speed; also, a weight strategy is introduced to avoid falling into the local minimum, and simulations of typical test functions show that the improved algorithm is superior to other algorithms. Finally, the improved gray wolf optimization algorithm is applied to the comprehensive optimization design of universal circuit breakers. The experimental results show that the proposed comprehensive design method is feasible and improves the design accuracy and efficiency of the universal circuit breaker.
