Parallel processing and genetic algorithm-based efficiency optimization for multiconverter power system

An efficient optimization approach based on parallel processing and genetic algorithm for a multiconverter power system is presented in this paper. The system consists of several clients and one server. The genetic algorithm helps the system to reach maximum efficiency over the entire load range. Meanwhile, WiFi is employed to achieve high-speed data transfer. Also, a benefit from the parallel processing and structure is that the optimization time has been exponentially reduced. The experimental results show that the prototype can achieve optimal efficiency over the entire load range, and the optimizing process is accelerated five times in average because of the parallel processing © 2017 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
