Optimal Power Converter Design

The document describes a Matlab code that uses symbolic optimization to find the optimal volumetric dimensions of a power converter design problem. The code defines objective and constraint functions in terms of the design variables of width (wc), width (ww), height (hw), and distance between coils (dc). It then solves the system of equations from setting the derivatives of the Lagrangian equal to zero to find the optimal symbolic solution, which is then evaluated numerically to find the optimal real positive values of the design variables and minimum volume.

obj_func:
function vol=obj_func(wc,ww,hw,dc)
vol=(2.*wc.*ww.*hw+2.*dc.*ww.*hw+3.14157.*ww.*ww.*hw)+(2.*wc.*dc.*hw+wc.*dc
.*2.*(wc+ww));
