Component-based system for designing power supply of no expert knowledge required

Abstract

This paper introduces the Component based architecture (CBA) employed in a software to design the switching mode power supply (SMPS). Theoretically, there is a unique mapping between a real converter and its behavior. Based on a known circuit topology, the proper design is underlining in the combination of components and its physical configuration. Neither abstract electrical model nor domain knowledge is expected from the user. Besides, this architecture turns optimizing the abstract parameters into component selection.

Real-World Power Supply Design and Simulation

“…By simply combining componentbased approach and result-oriented optimization, computer automation offers a promising way for designing power supplies. Previous studies [12], [13] have shown that the use of modified genetic algorithm can yield very good results including the optimization of a transformer construction.…”
