“…The most common objective functions to minimize are weight [98,99,[102][103][104], cost [32,99,102,[104][105][106][107][108], volume [102,[108][109][110], emitted radiations and thermal resistance of a heatsink [111], area [104,105] and power losses. Alternatively, the optimization can be achieved through efficiency maximization [57, 69, 98, 99, 101, 103-105, 108-110, 112-115].…”

Power converters systems aimed at renewable energy applications have become a common option for sustainable electricity and distributed generation, since their performance has improved, and prices have steadily been reduced in the last years. However, there are still several drawbacks that hinder their widespread installation, such as the simultaneous minimization of cost and volume, efficiency maximization, size reduction, etc. Quite often, accomplishing these goals requires dealing with complicated optimization problems, which are difficult to solve by classical methods. Metaheuristic techniques provide a viable alternative to solve complex, intricate optimization problems, such as those encountered in the development of power electronics converters. This paper presents a comprehensive coverage of metaheuristic methodologies applied in the area of power converters. The review includes a classification of the methodologies and main objective functions in each paper surveyed. An aim for this paper is to highlight the importance of the optimization tools, and the many benefits they provide to tackle the challenges encountered in the design, operation and control of power converters.

This paper presents a novel design methodology for dimensioning optimal power-electronic converters, which is able to achieve the precision of numerical simulation-based optimization procedures, however minimizing the overall computation time. The approach is based on the utilization of analytical and frequency-domain design models for a numerical optimization process, a validation with numerical simulations of the intermediate optimal solutions, and the correction of the analytical design models precision from the numerical simulation results. This method allows using the numerical simulation in an efficient way, where typically less than ten correction iterations are required. In order to demonstrate the performances of the proposed methodology, the calculation of the control parameters for an H-bridge DC-DC converter and the optimal dimensioning of a damped output filter for a buck converter using the proposed approach is presented.

In this paper we present how the design of a power converter can be effectively improved by means of EMI phenomena simulation. We will consider the design of a converter intended as battery charger for telecommunication facilities. First of all, the phenomena involved in the generation of electromagnetic interference are reviewed. Then the main ideas used to obtain the EMI simulation model are outlined. A model of the power converter in the frequency-domain is obtained and validated through experimental measurements. Finally, this model is used to improve the design of the converter from the EMI point of view, resulting in a reduction of space, weight and cost of the filtering devices.
