In the early design stage of an electromagnetic device, sufficient information on uncertainties of design variables is not available. Therefore, a reliable optimal design cannot be achieved by the conventional reliability analysis, in which the probabilistic method is applied. This paper, considering the insufficient uncertainty data, proposes a possibility-based optimal design algorithm to get a robust and reliable optimal design of electromagnetic devices. The suggested algorithm adopts a possibility analysis utilizing the fuzzy set theory. In addition, to mitigate the expensive performance analysis during possibility analysis, the design sensitivity analysis is employed to construct a surrogate model. Finally, the developed algorithm is validated through applications to several examples.
