Chaotic behavior study for serial multicellular chopper connected to nonlinear load

Abstract

In this paper, chaotic behavior investigation of two-cells chopper when it is associated with a nonlinear load is considered. The model of such system is described by a continuous time three dimensional non-autonomous system. The route to chaos is studied by using numerical simulations of two-cells chopper model. Moreover phase portraits; Poincaré section and first return map are analyzed to highlight the main characteristic of this particular chaotic behavior.
