What is Modelling and Simulation?
In general, modeling is a practice of designing and analyzing power electronics systems based on mathematical operations and matrices. Also, it helps to identify the run-time changing characteristics of the systems using a set of system parameters in electrical engineering. The main role of modelling is to regenerate the real performance of the system which is addressed as simulation. So, both the modelling and simulation are interconnected terminologies. These two techniques are involved in the process of developing the model (i.e., proposed project) and examine the actual action and efficiency of the system in different scenarios.
Particularly, simulation is the process of conducting experiments using mathematical and logical models to signify the dynamic variation and behaviour of the system. And, this performance can be considered by a combo of algebraic and differential equations. Further, we have also given you the formulation of the system simulation below.
