dc.description.abstractThis thesis describes the development of several small signal analysis methods for the modelling of power electronic converters. The methods are written generally and are intended to be able to be applied to all converter classes. In the penultimate chapter these general models are used to model the capacitor commutated converter. All the contained methods are based around a time domain small signal model. This time domain small model is a linearization of a power electronic system of passive components and ideal switches described as a hybrid system. The key problem in the derivation of the small signal model is the correct determination and description of the linearized effect of switching instant variation. Three analysis methods based upon the small signal model are advanced in this thesis, these are; time domain sensitivity matrices for use in a Newton determination of the cyclic steady state of a power electronic converter, partial waveform construction of harmonic sensitivity matrices for studying sensitivity of converters to harmonic disturbances, and harmonic state space models also for the construction of harmonic sensitivity matrices and for study of dynamic systems. Each modelling technique is applied to the more common converter topologies of the Buck-Boost converter and the Graetz Bridge before being finally applied to the capacitor commutated converter. Each technique is compared to PSCAD-EMTDC simulations for verification.en
