Abstract

This work presents a design for uninterruptible power supply inverters using Pareto front optimization for improved cost and efficiency. Three PWM modulation techniques applied to the full-bridge inverter are analyzed. As a result, the best MOSFET design solution in terms of the cost and efficiency of the inverter is evaluated based on a database with 47 power MOSFETs. Using the Pareto front, the optimal and sub-optimal solutions are compared, considering the three modulation techniques and the characteristics of MOSFETs manufactured for different voltage levels. Thermal and electrical measurements are used to validate the models.
