WOLFRAM SYSTEM MODELER
BuckBoostConverterModel of a DC/DC Buck Boost Converter used to study rise time and output current ripple |
SystemModel["EducationExamples.ElectricalEngineering.BuckBoostConverter"]
This is a model of a buck-boost DC-DC converter. The parameters are taken from an example in the WhenEvent Wolfram Language documentation, with a larger capacitor. It can be found in the Applications section under Power Electronics.
To simulate the model, click the Simulate button in the top toolbar:
A Model plot will display automatically. The plot window should now look like this:
You can change the Vin and Vout parameters to try different input and output voltages.
You can also zoom in to see the output ripple:
In order to get the full experience of this example, you need a desktop Wolfram Language product. A free trial download is available at www.wolfram.com/mathematica/trial/
For the full example, open the accompanying notebook BuckBoostConverter.nb.
