New Fast and Accurate Steady-State Analysis Approach for Design, Optimization, and Simulation of General Power Converter Systems
DownloadSpring 2023
Accurate steady-state analysis of power converters are essential for converter design and optimization. Steady-state responses are also useful for component selection, loss calculation, identification of soft switching operation, and small signal modeling of power converters. Normally, a...
