Abstract :
This paper presents a pedagogical approach to teach the modeling of Power Electronic Converters through simulation by using general-purpose electronic circuit simulators. The proposed approach is demonstrated by simulation example of a realistic AC-AC, DC-DC, ACDC, DC-AC converter systems. The paper discusses the derivation of MATLAB/ SIMULINK implementation, simulation technique suitable for virtual study of complex nonlinear feedback systems. This paper demonstrates a "Virtual Power Electronics" course to make the students understanding the course.
