Simplified model simulation platform for multi-domain high density converter design

A comprehensive simulation platform with simplified models has been developed for high density converter design. The proposed platform enabled us to predict optimal operation conditions to maximize power density, taking full advantage of novel power devices. Availability of the platform was evaluated by a virtual prototyping of a DC/DC converter.
