MATLAB Coding for Switch-Mode Power Converters’ Steady-State and Transient Studies
May 6 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Talk Abstract: Time-domain evaluation for Switch-Mode power supplies has been, and still is, a challenge for electrical engineering communities. Conventional simulators, e.g. Spice, Saber, Simulink, use brute forces based on Kirchoff Current/Voltage Law/Equation for all circuit nodes and loops. They fail often, and easily, at the time-domain transition edgy due to massive transfer of boundary conditions and convergence failure associated with it. This presentation shows a patented approach utilizing MATLAB codes and bypassing those problems by invoking a key concept −− Continuity of States. It yields steady-state rapidly. In theory, it shall also enable the estimation of dynamic trajectory linking to steady-state. Audience are invited to tackle the latter task.
