| Abstract |
An object-oriented approach to Computer Aided Analysis in Power Electronics is presented. This method provides the simulation efficiency of high-level language-based tools and a degree of user-friendly features as in specific-purpose simulation programs. The method is based on the use of different objects: subcircuits and high-level control descriptions. Subcircuits model the behaviour of the hardware of the system: input filter, converter, output filter and load, while high-level control descriptions are used for the software of the converter. Subsequently, analysis of complete systems is allowed, including converter, control subsystem, input and output filters and load. An example of the approach is given, comparing this approach for the case of a single-phase inverter, when simulated with well-known techniques such as SPICE. |
