Co-Simulation Interfacing Capabilities in Device-Level Power Electronic Circuit Simulation Tools: An Overview

Abstract: Power electronic circuit simulation today has become increasingly more demanding in both the speed and accuracy. Whilst almost every simulator has its own advantages and disadvantages, co-simulations are becoming more prevalent. This paper provides an overview of the co-simulation capabilities of device-level circuit simulators. More specifically, a listing of device-level simulators with their salient features are compared and contrasted. The co-simulation interfaces between several simulation tools are discu… Show more

“…A common approach toward these arising aspects is to narrow the complexity of the numerical modeling through the isolation of the main macro-domains, and thus solving the different phenomena through dedicated languages, tools, and algorithms [2]. However, in applications where the strict interdependence between the different physical domains and scales cannot be decoupled the introduction of a complete multidomain co-simulation architecture is required necessary [3]- [5]. Matlab/Simulink® certainly represents the most advanced graphical programming environment for the simulation of dynamic systems, being developed for the analysis of multipurpose and general nature problems, the proposed co-simulation algorithm exploits the capabilities of a system-level environment in order to integrate under a single dynamic model, whose core is designed into a multibody model, several device-level simulators implemented respectively for the electronic and magnetostatic analysis through the equivalent circuit methodology (ECM) and the 3D finite volume modeling (3DFVM).…”

“…Currently, device-level circuit simulators represent the standard solution in complex electronic simulations. Their strengths is based on the conformity to fundamental physical principles [3], which in turns introduces long-time simulation, losses in computing performances and difficulty in multi-domain integration. On the other side, system-level like ambient such Matlab/Simulink [8] can guarantee high computational performances and multipurpose analysis at the expense of a reduced range of possible simulations, due to lack of transient, AC/DC or sweeps analysis capabilities and a limited availability of complete components libraries [9].…”

“…However, in applications where the strict interdependence between the different physical domains and scales cannot be decoupled, such as mechatronic devices, strongly coupled electro-magnetic applications (WPT, electric vehicle re-charging, etc. ), and active analog electronics controllers, the introduction of a complete multidomain co-simulation architecture is required [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…The increasing demand for accuracy and reliability in the design and analysis of complex electronic integrated systems has, in recent years, pushed toward a greater use of device-level circuit simulators. Their strengths are based on the conformity to fundamental physical principles [6], which in turn introduces long-time simulation, losses in computing performances, and difficulty in multi-domain integration. On the contrary, a system-level ambient such as Matlab/Simulink can guarantee high computational performances and multipurpose analysis at the expense of a reduced range of possible simulations, due to lack of transient, AC/DC, or sweeps analysis capabilities and a limited availability of complete components libraries [9].…”
