Abstract

In this paper, a numerical multivariable efficiency optimization of a Conventional DC/DC boost converter is presented. The optimization based on efficiency function includes parameters of both frequency and coil values. An experimental data population has created regarding to fixed input and output values to achieve a multivariable optimization procedure. The optimum frequency and coil values are obtained from experimental results to achieve maximum efficiency and compared with genetic algorithm simulation results.
