Computer Aided Analysis and Design of Power Electronic Systems - Simulator Based Approach

In this paper we present a new approach to computer-aided analysis and design of power electronic systems, which we call simulator based approach. Most common computer aided approach is to utilize a transient simulator which is developed for power electronic systems. We give more advanced role to transient simulators. We discuss a method to develop simulator based analysis and design tools of power electronic systems. The developed tools make it possible to analyze and design target systems with considering duly their detailed models which the simulators adopt.
