Abstract

The paper presents a constrained optimization procedure to design a DC-DC converter with coupled inductors for minimizing the power losses. Two algorithms have been used, Genetic and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and the results have been compared. In particular, with the proposed technique, the electrical, magnetic and geometrical characteristics of the coupled inductors have been obtained and the values of duty cycle and frequency have been defined in order to obtain the maximum efficiency.
