Switched Model

This chapter focuses on methodologies for obtaining the so-called switched model. This model describes basic low-frequency dynamics, as given by the energy accumulation variations, and it captures the switching dynamics of power electronic converters as well. The switched model is a useful analysis tool, which emphasizes the presence of the external control action. In its bilinear form this model can be directly used for simulation and control design purposes. The switched model offers a starting point for obtaining other types of models, such as averaged or reduced-order models. The chapter first states the mathematical framework, then provides a general modeling methodology. Some illustrative examples and a case study complete the presentation of switched-model-related topics. Problems with solutions, as well as proposed problems, can be found at the end of chapter.

Mathematical Modeling General Mathematical Framework

Because of its multiple combinations of switch states, a power electronic converter exhibits a periodically repeated sequence of possible configurations during its operation time interval, also called switching period. Each such configuration represents in fact a unique circuit containing sources and passive elements, which can be mathematically described by a set of differential equations. Under the assumptions already stated in Chap. 2, a generic power electronic converter, represented in Fig. 3.1 which switches between N distinct configurations,

Comments on power electronic converter classification In general, power electronic converters are classified according to the following criteria: • conversion mode: DC-DC, DC-AC, etc.;
