Abstract
One of the main faults of a PWM power converter is linked to losing the operating process stability because of bifurcations. A bifurcation diagram contains information on the evolution of the behavior of a PWM power converter that could be theoretically used to prevent the bifurcations. Surprisingly, applying the bifurcation analysis is not yet typical in engineering practice. One of the reasons seems to be in the fundamental properties of the PWM power converter dynamics caused by the unavoidable uncertainty of its behavior near a bifurcation point. We propose a new approach to estimating this uncertainty. By analyzing a set of experimental bifurcation diagrams, our approach allows to determine both the location of the uncertainty zone and the quantitative regularities of the behavior within this zone. The proposed approach can be applied to design and maintenance, including fault diagnosis, and also to scientific research of the nonlinear dynamics regularities. Our results are experimentally verified by using the "PWM DC drive" setup.
