Waveforms arising from power electronics circuits often contain slowly changing segments with high-frequency details concentrated near the switching instants. Such a feature is consistent with the localization property of wavelets which are known in the signal processing literature to be highly suitable for describing fast changing edges embedded in slowly varying backgrounds. This paper consid...

This paper is an attempt to summarize and discuss the simulation tools used for analysis, design & testing of Power Systems and FACTS Controllers. FACTS devices are power electronics based components; simulation tools for power electronics circuits are also discussed. The application of simulation software and program offers a powerful tool in the technology of electrical & electronics engineer...

Issue 6 2010 Power Electronics Europe www.power-mag.com Power electronics systems are commonly used in motor drive, power supply and power conversion applications. They cover a wide output power spectrum: from several hundred watts in small drives up to megawatts in wind power installations or large drive systems. Inside the system the gate driver circuit with its extensive control and monitori...
