The Full-bridge converter (Switching Function) models of a single-phase power converter of the VSC (Voltage Source Converter) type. This converter is modeled using a switching function suitable for real-time simulation. The switching function offers a good compromise between the real-time performance of an average model and the accuracy of using detailed switches by preserving the harmonic content of a switching device.

NOTEIn order to obtain accurate results, the options Activate iterative method and Solve control inputs before solving power in Simulation Settings must be selected when using this component.

Additional Information

The converter is modeled by a switching function model. The switches are replaced by two voltage sources and two diodes on the AC side and a current source on the DC side.

The figure below shows the internal circuit of the converter that can be accessed by opening the subcircuit.


The converter is controlled by firing pulses produced by a PWM generator or by firing pulses averaged over a time step of the simulation (1 / Ts),  providing signals between 0 and 1 (see PWM Average Generator for Full-Bridge Converter (Switching Function)). Both operating modes produce harmonics. This converter model correctly simulates the operation as a rectifier as well as the blanking time.


Limitations

This model must be used with the PWM Average Generator For Full-Bridge Converter component available in the Control Sources library of HYPERSIM or with an input FPGA module (contact our technical support for an example).

This model does not participate in the load flow solution.
