A number of device models is available, but the extraction of the parameters of the actual (commercially available) devices, in order to be modelled requires usually a case-by-case study. This paper describes a tool that automatically obtains SPICE-compatible libraries of the most common devices in power electronics. Input data are taken from data books of the device under consideration.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"581 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122722186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main features can be summarized as follows: (i) no preliminary knowledge of the operation mode the circuit works in is needed, (ii) no initial guess solution is needed, and (iii) fast convergence and arbitrary accuracy are allowed. The requirements are: the state-space model of the circuit must be known, the currents and voltages controlling internally controlled switching instants (ICSIs) must be identified, the circuit must have distinct eigenvalues within each linear configuration. The method combines a unified discrete-time modeling of PWM converters with a robust and powerful IA-based technique for the calculation of ICSIs. After the type of circuit and the components are selected, the source, the load, the switching frequency, the duty-cycle and the solution tolerance may be arbitrarily chosen and the steady-state solution is automatically calculated, regardless of the operation mode. The method covers all PWM switching converters. As an example in this paper it has been applied to the steady-state analysis of a Cuk converter working in discontinuous current (DC), discontinuous voltage (DV) and discontinuous current and voltage (DCV) modes. Excellent agreement with experimental measurements has been found.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123305294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even ships do not escape this technology and, consequently, to the problem of harmonics. The harmonic disturbances are very critical on a ship supply network because it is a local one and its impedance has a finite value. Therefore, the prediction of the harmonics level caused by static power converters may help to evaluate accurately the characteristics of the network devices to be installed, such as generators, powerlines, transformers etc.. The aim of this paper is to study the harmonics generated by a large number of light dimmers. Due to the randomness of the operating conditions of each dimmer, a statistical approach seems the most suitable in order to analyse the global behaviour of the system. A multiple single-phase dimmer installation and the influence of some parameters on the line current harmonics are investigated in a first part. Afterwards, the same study is applied to multiple single-phase dimmers supplied by a three phase network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115135242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
