The study presented in this article reformulates and generalizes the TEAM benchmark, originally proposed for multi-objective optimization of magnetic devices under dc conditions, now extending it to the ac regime. A solution is furnished which has enabled an extensive search and reliable estimation of the shape of the Pareto front. Field uniformity and losses are considered with reference to a class of power inductors. It is argued that the benchmark provides a challenging target for new algorithms, especially those involving numerical modeling based on finite-element codes, where the number of objective function calls needs to be minimized for practical designs.

Abstract
The study presented in this article reformulates and generalizes the TEAM benchmark, originally proposed for multi-objective optimization of magnetic devices under dc conditions, now extending it to the ac regime. A solution is furnished which has enabled an extensive search and reliable estimation of the shape of the Pareto front. Field uniformity and losses are considered with reference to a class of power inductors. It is argued that the benchmark provides a challenging target for new algorithms, especially those involving numerical modeling based on finite-element codes, where the number of objective function calls needs to be minimized for practical designs.
