ICE

Intelligent Circuit Enhancer (ICE) is an Circuit optimization tool developed in python with focus on power electronic circuits.

Features!

• Simple python based optimizer which makes easy it run on cloud platforms like google colab
• Pseudo-drawing with the help of python Power Electronic Simulator makes it removes the issues with netlist based circuit representation and makes it easy to run in cloud platforms

Supported algorithms:

• NSGAII
• NSGAIII
• CMAES
• GDE3
• IBEA
• MOEAD
• OMOPSO
• SMPSO
• SPEA2
• EpsMOEA

Tech behind ICE

ICE uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• Python Power Electronics - The simulator used in this software
• platypus-opt - multi-objective optimization tool
• numpy - scientific computing library
• scipy - open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering.
• pandas - Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python
• matlibplot - Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

Installation

ICE requires python 3.7+ to run. Please install latest versions of all these libraries

General Instructions for users

• Ability to use the simulator Python Power Electronics is required to operate this software
• Basic knowledge in python is very helpful in case of Dynamic Circuit Design
• Basic electrical engineering knowledge is required for the user.

For help with the simulator:

Here are some resources

• Python Power Electronics - This is the official website of the simulator. We use a modified version in our software.You can find a a lot of tutorials and case studies in this website.
• Python Power Electronics tutorial - This is a YouTube channel from Dr. Shivkumar V. Iyer the creator of Python Power Electronics. It has a lot of free materials.
• Python Power Electronics course - This is a paid online course by from Dr. Shivkumar V. Iyer the creator of Python Power Electronics on udemy

Future plans

• Create more Tutorials
• Convert to Cython for faster running
• Provide support for more Circuit Simulators
