- Optimization of the capacitor head in the generator circuit breaker (GCB)
- Initial cylindrical form is through the automatic optimization procedure converted to the optimal shape
- The absolute minimal field strength is obtained thanks to the fact that global optimum is reached
- The animation illustrates the generation of the optimal form of the capacitor head through an iterative optimization algorithm used in POLOPT/Optim
