Discrete State Event-Driven Framework With a Flexible Adaptive Algorithm for Simulation of Power Electronic Systems

摘要

Accurate and efficient simulation of power electronic systems is challenging due to their hybrid nature consisting of continuous states and discrete events. In this paper, a comprehensive discrete state event-driven (USED) framework is proposed for offline simulation of such hybrid dynamic systems. Two key elements of the proposed comprehensive DSED simulation framework that contribute to the significant improvements in numerical accuracy and computational efficiency are a flexible adaptive algorithm for flexible integration of continuous states and an event-driven mechanism for efficient locating of discrete events. The proposed DSED simulation framework is applied to a 50-kVA solid-state transformer and a multileg full-bridge Class-D amplifier to verify its accuracy and efficiency by comparisons with experimental waveforms and simulated waveforms of Simulink and PLECS. Up to 100-fold and 10-fold improvements in simulation speed are achieved at the same level of numerical accuracy compared with Simulink and PLECS, respectively.
