Abstract

This paper presents a methodology used to simplify the design of power supply systems based on high level of abstraction simulation models. This approach allows the designer to make decisions concerning the power system architecture and its components. This paper is focused on the techniques to identify topology candidates that can be built with available voltage regulator technologies and find the solution with best trade-off among energy efficiency, size and cost. In order to solve the problem when the number of possible options is very large, metaheuristic algorithms are used.
