Simulation Of Power Electronics Circuits Using Psim, Pspice Or Matlab/Simuling

Computer circuit simulation is a great learning tool inasmuch as one can examine new circuit ideas and learn from the simulation results. Circuit simulation is a technique for checking and verifying the design of electrical and electronic circuits and systems prior to manufacturing and deployment. It is used across a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from integrated circuits and microelectronics to electrical power distribution networks and power electronics. In this book the following Power Electronics simulation programs are presented and analyzed : 1) Matlab/Simulink2) PSPICE and LTSPICE3) PSIMThis book is providing the necessary information in order someone to be able to select the appropriate simulation program for a specific simulation program. Each simulation program is explained step by step and a big number of examples are included. The simulation examples are divided into the following six sections:1) Circuits and diode rectifiers (6 examples)2) Thyristor rectifiers (10 examples)3) Inverter circuits and power semiconductor switches (12 examples)4) DC-DC power converters (12 examples)5) AC voltage controllers (4 examples)6) Switching rectifiers and active power factor correction (9 examples)
