Summary:The performance of power electronic converters is sensitive to main design variables such as topology, control algorithm, and modulation scheme as well as details such as manufacturing variability. In this paper, sensitivity index is introduced as an indicator of design quality to measure converter robustness in the presence of manufacturing uncertainty. This paper presents the design and optimization of a Vienna rectifier that converts variable frequency 115 V AC voltage into 340 V DC voltage to illustrate the multi-objective optimization with parametric uncertainty quantification. The primary design target is to maximize converter efficiency and robustness within given size limitations and operation requirements.
