Abstract

The advent of electrified aviation has ushered in a greater need for energy efficient, power dense, reliability-oriented design of power conversion systems. Conventionally, the entire design process consumes large quantities of time, effort, and engineering resources. To address this problem, this paper proposes a genetic algorithm enabled multi-objective design optimization framework by which one can quickly generate many iterations of a back-to-back current source converter for turboelectric aircraft propulsion systems. The automated design methodology can locate optimal trade-offs between design objectives (i.e., reliability, power density, energy efficiency, cost, etc.) and generate the Pareto front for a user-specified optimization problem.
