Parameter Optimization of Controllers for Forward Converters Using Genetic Algorithms

Parameter Tuning for Buck Converters Using Genetic Algorithms

The buck converter is one of DC/DC converters that are often used as power supplies. This paper presents parameter tuning methods to obtain circuit element values for the buck converter to minimize the output voltage variation under load changing environments. The conventional method using the concept of the phase margin is extended to have optimal phase margin that gives slightly improved perf...

Optimization of PID Controllers Using Ant Colony and Genetic Algorithms

Parameter Optimization of Elliptical Microstrip Patch Antenna using Genetic Algorithms

In this paper, Genetic Algorithms (GA) has been applied to calculate the optimized parameters of Elliptical Microstrip antenna. The fitness function has been developed in GA and the optimized dimensions of the antenna have been calculated. The output obtained is the optimized semimajor axis length ‘a’ from which the other parameters i.e. semi-minor axis length and odd mode frequency are calcula...

Genetic Algorithms: Concepts, Design for Optimization of Process Controllers

Genetic Algorithm is a search heuristic that mimics the process of evaluation. Genetic Algorithms can be applied to process controllers for their optimization using natural operators. This paper discusses the concept and design procedure of Genetic Algorithm as an optimization tool.

Optimization of Parameter Settings for Genetic Algorithms in Music Segmentation

Genetic algorithms have been introduced to the field of media segmentation including image, video, and also music segmentation since segmentation problems usually have complex fitness landscapes. Music segmentation can provide insight into the structure of a music composition so it is an important task in music information retrieval (MIR). The authors have already presented the application of g...
