Converter models for simulation are designed for the forward and backup modes of operation. The results are analysed and compared to those of the expected ideal operation to confirm the validity of the models. An objective function of the converter efficiency in the forward mode operation is derived based on the steady-state values of simulation model. A constrained optimization on the objective function is performed using GA and SA, and optimal parameters are derived. The design and analysis of the converter are performed using software tools within the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment for GA. The derived optimal parameters of the converter from GA are compared with those obtained with SA technique. date: 2009 publisher: Acta Press official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77950819145&doi=10.2316%2fJournal.205.2009.3.205-4823&partnerID=40&md5=4c7ac645542548af76facacccb6ca89d id_number: 10.2316/Journal.205.2009.3.205-4823 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Modelling and Simulation volume: 29 number: 3 pagerange: 255-262 refereed: TRUE issn: 02286203 citation: Kondapalli, K.S.R.R. and Chew, C.-K.
