Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce a method for the analysis of steady-state processes in periodically time varying circuits. The method is based on a new definition of frequency responses for periodic time-varying circuits.Design/methodology/approachProcesses in inverter circuits are often described by differential equations with periodically variable coefficients and forcing functions. To obtain a steady-state periodic solution, the expansion of differential equations into a domain of two independent variables of time is made. To obtain differential equations with constant coefficients the Lyapunov transformation is applied. The two-dimensional Laplace transform is used to find a steady-state solution. The steady-state solution is obtained in the form of the double Fourier series. The transfer function and frequency responses for the inverter circuit are introduced.FindingsA set of frequency characteristics are defined. An example of a boost inverter is considered, and a set of frequency responses for voltage and current are presented. These responses show a resonance that is missed if the averaged state-space method is used.Originality/valueA new definition of frequency responses is presented. On the basis of frequency responses, a modulation strategy and filters can be chosen to improve currents and voltages.
