Development of a Material Selection Software for DC-DC Converters Using Python

DC-DC converters are one of the crucial tools of power electronics. Choosing the right materials while designing converters is essential to obtaining the right results. When selecting these components, the requirements of the intended application and the type of DC-DC converter that is to be used should be considered, and appropriate calculations should be carried out accordingly. Components should then be selected based on these calculations. These calculations differ with the requirements of the application and the type of the converter. These calculation tools are rare in market except for commercial material manufacturers. In this study, a Python-based software has been developed to fulfill this task. This software is designed to be used by individuals of all levels of knowledge. It is thought that it will provide great convenience in material selection for undergraduate and graduate students and engineers who design electronic cards.
