A Bond Graph Approach for the Modeling and Simulation of a Buck Converter.

This paper deals with the modeling of bond graph buck converter systems. The bond graph formalism, which represents a heterogeneous formalism for physical modeling, is used to design a sub-model of a power MOSFET and PiN diode switchers. These bond graph models are based on the device's electrical elements. The application of these models to a bond graph buck converter permit us to obtain an invariant causal structure when the switch devices change state. This paper shows the usefulness of the bond graph device's modeling to simulate an implicit bond graph buck converter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
