ANALYSIS, MODELING AND CONTROL OF POWER ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND THEIR SIMULATION AS AN EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT

Abstract

Power semiconductor devices are frequently used in contemporary world. They are used in all areas of everyday life and industrial applications. Thanks to this fact, it is necessary for current and new professionals to be trained and educated in the given theory. Part of this theory, in which our students are educated is the state space analysis of power systems, which represents their mathematical descriptions. Therefore, we created multiple simulation models of many power electronic systems. These models are used by students to verify the correctness of the performed state space analysis of the systems and to compare their results with classical circuit wiring diagram. The aim of such a simulation models is to introduce students to the variety of possibilities to analyze power electronic systems, understanding of their functionality, and also their open loop or closed loop control. There are also other benefits, like deeper understanding of mathematical skills. This paper describes multiple simulation models (topologies) of power systems, their analysis and control.
