Abstract

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.
