| Abstract |
This work presents a contribution to the automatic design of modular power converters based on the associations of standardized conversion cells. All conversion cells studied in this work were fabricated, tested and characterized, and statistical models are derived to represent their behavior. These statistical models were based on experimental data to predict with precision the behavior of any power converter built from a large number of identical conversion cells in any type of association. This work focuses on the characterization methodology and the modeling method implemented for low power, air-cooled standard conversion cells along with further details of the automated design method. |
