Modelling of Switched Mode Fly-back Supply for Engineering Education
Abstract
This paper presents a modelling method useful in the education process for the study of DC-DC power conversion principles using pulse width modulation converters. In this paper, the proposed modelling method is applied to a switched mode Fly-back supply. The model of the supply circuit includes the main parasitic elements of its component parts. To analyze the operation mode of the switched mode Fly-back supply its model is implemented with the help of MATLAB programming environment. The implementation of the model is used to simulate the behaviour of the Fly-back supply for both continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes, in transient and steady state conditions. The model and its implementation offer to the users an easier way to understand and analyze the operation principle of the switched mode power supplies. Moreover, the authors developed a graphic user interface dedicated to this study. The paper includes simulation and experimental results that validate the model of the supply.
