Conclusion
The presented GA-based design approach to
optimization of power electronics circuits is
shown to be a very effective and powerful tool
for obtaining improved solutions compared
to traditional design procedures. Future
design tools based on this approach could also
be used to rapidly provide an estimation of
the minimum cost of the system under certain
design specifications and conditions and
to vary the specifications and operating conditions
in order to investigate possible ways
of reducing the system cost, etc. Due to the
short time required to obtain this information,
the tool is also especially useful for initial
project evaluations (viability, etc.) and for
the design of different products within one
platform.
