“…However, these volumetric advantages are largely offset by the volume cost of fully packaging the optimized converter for underhood automotive use. 4 We conclude that-to first order-a comparison of the packaged volume of the two converters reflects the improvement that is achieved with the implemented optimization technique.…”

“…In [4], an optimization routine is coupled with a circuit simulator to select parameters for a power converter filter. The objective function to be minimized is a predetermined function of the filter inductance, capacitance, and output voltage ripple.…”

“…Second, all of the techniques consider numerical parameters only, without bridging the gap to actual components. For example, [4], [5] search for optimized inductance values, but there is no tie to actual component design or consideration of actual component nonidealities. This makes it difficult to optimize for quantities such as price, weight, and volume, and does not address many of the issues found in an actual design.…”

This paper investigates computer-aided optimization of dc/dc converters, with a focus on converters for dual-voltage automotive electrical systems. A new CAD optimization approach based on Monte Carlo search methods is introduced which allows the design space to be rapidly explored in an automated fashion and the most optimal designs and design approaches to be identified. The optimization approach also allows the effects of variations in design specifications on the cost, weight, and volume of an optimized converter to be readily determined. A prototype converter designed using this optimization procedure is evaluated and compared to a converter designed by conventional means.

“…Hence the "across" and "through" variables of the "Cut" are replaced with the "current" through and "voltage" at the "Pin" respectively. When the DYMOLA libraries [ 12,13,14] were first converted to Modelica, these models would work only with other such converted PE components and not with models made available in the standard Modelica library. In all, it was not possible to interface these with the standard library components.…”
