A general unified approach to modelling switching-converter power stages

Abstract

A method for modelling switching-converter power stages is developed, whose starting point is the unified state-space representation of the switched networks and whose end result is either a complete state-space description or its equivalent small-signal low<-f requency linear circuit model.A new canonical circuit model is proposed, whose fixed topology contains all the essential inputr-output and control properties of any dc-todc switching converter, regardless of its detailed configuration, and by which different converters can be characterized in the form of a table con veniently stored in a computer data bank to pro vide a useful tool for computer aided design and optimization. The new canonical circuit model predicts that, in general;switching action intro duces both zeros and poles into the duty ratio to output transfer function in addition to those from the effective filter network.

Simulation of PWM DC-DC converters using eigenvalues and eigenvectors

“…where x is the vector which consists of state variables, i.e., inductor currents and capacitor voltages, u is the vector of independent sources and y is the vector of output variables [18]. In this work only DC-DC PWM converters with one input and one output, as described in [6,5], will be considered.…”

Energy harvesting and wireless data transmission system for rotor instrumentation in electrical machines

“…A formal mathematical analysis could be conducted, using techniques such as state space averaging to determine the transfer functions of the rectifier [20], but this is beyond the scope of this paper. Instead, the following general points were used to estimate appropriate values for the filter cut-offs and integrator time constants.…”
