Behavioral modeling of multi-output DC-DC converters for large-signal simulation of distributed power systems

Simulation can play an important role in the configuration, analysis and design of distributed power systems, but the lack of available models of the main components (batteries, fuel-cells, AC-DC and DC-DC converters) is a major drawback for its use. The aim of this work is to develop a generic model of multi-output DC-DC converters, widely used in power electronic systems, based on the information provided by manufacturers in their datasheet or measurements. The model is intended to be able to predict power consumption, efficiency, system stability and large signal behavior including cross-regulation, inrush current, protections, start-up and remote on-off control.
