AN ORIGINAL AND NATURAL METHOD OF COUPLING ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD EQUATIONS WITH CIRCUIT EQUATIONS PUT IN A STATE FORM

In this paper a general method of coupling static converters with elec tromagnetic devices is presented. This method is based on the simultan eous solution of the converter equations and the field equations in th e electromagnetic devices. The equations are established in an automat ic way: the circuit equations are put in a state form and the field eq uations are discretized using a 2D finite element method. An original way of linking the two systems of equations is proposed.
