AutoEnergyDesign: An LLM-Driven Agent for Automatic Energy System Design Optimization

Read the original on arXiv AI →

AutoEnergyDesign is an LLM‑driven framework that optimizes building energy system designs by iteratively proposing configuration changes based on prior simulation results and automatically reverting unsuccessful changes via a git‑based mechanism. The agent combines a reasoning model with explicit memory (procedural, semantic, episodic, reflective), a constrained action interface, and a keep/revert signal, and evaluates designs using a 25‑year Net Present Cost model across eight technologies. In a case study with measured building loads, the agent (using Claude Haiku 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Opus 5.5) achieved an NPC within 1% of the best baseline after far fewer simulations, outperforming random search, TPE Bayesian optimization, and a $(1+1)$ evolution strategy.

A Multi-Agent System for Motor Design Optimization via an FEA-AI Hybrid Approach

arXiv:2606. 09037v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This study presents a large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent framework for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) design optimization that mitigates limitations of conventional workflows: expertise-dependent problem setup and data preparation, the prohibitive computational cost of finite element analysis (FEA), and the unreliability of AI surrogates in unexplored regions.

LLM-Assisted Optimization for Simulation-Based Redesign

The paper presents an integrated approach that combines large language models (LLMs) with numerical solvers to accelerate redesign in engineering, specifically targeting electric vehicle battery pack cost minimization. Three LLM integration strategies—warm start, variable fixing, and ReAct—are evaluated alongside four black-box solvers, showing that the integrated method can achieve comparable design quality with 80% fewer simulator evaluations and a higher rate of near-optimal solutions. The study highlights that the optimal LLM-solver pairing depends on the nature of the redesign scenario and that larger LLMs provide greater benefits when they exert more control over the search process.
