Comparative Analysis of Solution Methods to Power Electronic Interface Modeling for Renewable Energy Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the comparison between various numerical methods namely Euler's Method, Midpoint Method, 2nd order Runge Kutta Method and 4th order Runge Kutta Method with the analytical method to solve a power electronic system in both single phase and three phase configuration using decoupled methodology. The values of source current, load current and DC link voltage are obtained for each method using Matlab software and compared with each other. Also, the error in each numerical method with respect to analytical method is calculated and tabulated. These power electronic models could be an excellent research platform for testing the renewable energy systems without going for full scale or scaled down models.
