Abstract

This paper proposes two types of fast circuit analysis techniques of a power electronic circuit by using multiple processors in parallel. One is a steady-state analysis technique by the multiple shooting method which is stabler and faster than the usual single-shooting method. The other is a block relaxation technique for circuit equation solution which has a wider application circuit class than the usual relaxation technique. Application results to a converter circuit are discussed for their parallel effectiveness
