چکیده
Traditional DC-DC Boost converters are used in high voltage applications, but they are not economical due to limited output voltage, large voltage ripples, current ripples and power losses. A closed loop control scheme for a simple DC-DC Boost converter in designed and the performance characteristics are studied using MATLAB simulink. The performance of the controller is also studied for various load and line disturbances. The designed converter gives satisfactory results. Usually it is very difficult to design the source inductance ( L) and the filter capacitance ( C ) of the converter for desired performance. i.e optimal switching losses, voltage ripples, and current ripples. Normally the L & C values of the converter are designed using trial and error method. In this paper, genetic algorithm is used to design the DC-DC boost converter for optimal switching losses, voltage ripples and current ripples. The results obtained using genetic algorithm are validated using the simulation results.
