Modeling and simulation of power electronic converters

This paper reviews some of the major approaches to modeling and simulation in power electronics, and provides references that can serve as a starting point for the extensive literature on the subject. The major focus of the paper is on averaged models of various kinds, but sampled-data models are also introduced. The importance of hierarchical modeling and simulation is emphasized.
