Analysis of a combined converter-electromagnetic device by taking into account its control loop

This paper presents the control loop implementation in the simulation of the association converter/electromagnetic structure represented by two-dimensional finite element method. The state variable equations of the converter are constructed entirely in an automatic manner. These equations are then coupled to the electromagnetic structure equations, and finally solved simultaneously using a time stepping procedure. In order to validate the proposed method, a simulation of an inverter connected to an electromagnetic structure including a hysteresis current control scheme is performed
