Abstract :
This article gives an introduction to optimised design of power electronic circuits. The use of mathematical optimisation routines in connection with general purpose circuit simulators is discussed. A tool which connects the circuit simulator SABER with optimisation routines in MATLAB is developed. A detailed description of the optimisation of a gate-drive for an inverter leg in a frequency converter is given.
