Computer Techniques for Dynamic Modeling of DC-DC Power Converters Paperback / softback

Computers play an important role in the analyzing and designing of modern DC-DC power converters.

This book shows how the widely used analysis techniques of averaging and linearization can be applied to DC-DC converters with the aid of computers.

Obtained dynamical equations may then be used for control design. The book is composed of two chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on the extraction of control-to-output transfer function.

A second-order converter (a buck converter) and a fourth-order converter (a Zeta converter) are studied as illustrative examples in this chapter.

Both ready-to-use software packages, such as PLECS® and MATLAB® programming, are used throught this chapter. The input/output characteristics of DC-DC converters are the object of considerations in Chapter 2.

Calculation of input/output impedance is done with the aid of MATLAB® programming in this chapter.

The buck, buck-boost, and boost converter are the most popular types of DC-DC converters and used as illustrative examples in this chapter. This book can be a good reference for researchers involved in DC-DC converters dynamics and control.
