Description
Abstract:Simulation of the dynamic behavior of complex systems has always been of considerable technical and economic importance. This is particularly true for systems that have time varying parameters for which there may not be closed form solutions for their mathematical models. This research is concerned with power electronic systems. These systems are referred to as static energy conversion systems and employ power semiconductor switches in order to process and condition electrical energy. This thesis documents algorithms to simulate power electronic circuits in real time using microcomputers. Two methods are introduced. The switched digital filtering algorithm models the switches as a controller which controls the topology of the load circuit. The load circuit in turn is modeled as a digital filter. Depending on which switches are on and/or off, the controller simply connects the appropriate source input to the digital filter. The constant topology modeling models the switches as variable inductors controlled by off-on controllers. The state variable equation formulation is then used to mathematically characterize the circuit. It is shown that these equations can then be digitized to obtain a digital model for the circuit. Multiprocessor implementation of these algorithms will then be introduced in which these algorithms are partitioned into several segments and each segment is assigned to a processing unit in a multiprocessing environment. Simulation results will also be presented.
