A Matlab/Simulink tool for enhancing efficient education of power electronics corresponding to the ETH power converter laboratory

The simulations of power converter circuits corresponding, to the ETH converter laboratory, the experimental modules mainly focused on switching devices, using Matlab/Simulink are proposed in this paper. The various types of converters, non-isolated and isolated dc to dc converter, ac to dc converter with power factor correction and buck converter, are considered to be examples to clearly show the operating conditions of them. The results illustrate that all dynamical characteristics and properties of the converters available from the simulation are correctly followed to theories. In addition, with this work, simulation time can be reduced, and convergence problem can also be enhanced. Therefore, the advanced control system design methodology can be simply developed from the toolboxes to achieve an efficiency of the system.
