Information

This is a DC/DC converter, based on a power balance between the two DC sides. The parameter conversionFactor defines the ratio between the two averaged DC voltages. The loss of the converter is proportional to the power transmitted at the second DC side. The parameter eta is the efficiency of the transfer. The loss is computed as

P_loss = (1-η) P_DC,

where P_DC is the power transmitted. This model is symmetric and the power can be transmitted in both directions. The loss is computed depending on the direction of the power flow.

Revisions

• March 19, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
  Removed redeclaration of phase system in Terminal_n and Terminal_p as it is already declared to the be the same phase system, and it is not declared to be replaceable. This avoids a translation error in OpenModelica.
• June 2, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
  Revised model and documentation. Changed parameter sof the model, now the user specify VHigh and VLow instead of conversionFactor.
• January 28, 2012, by Thierry S. Nouidui:
  First implementation.
