DC DC converter

Buildings.Electrical.DC.Conversion.DCDCConverter

Information

This is a DC/DC converter, based on a power balance between the two DC sides. The parameter conversionFactor defines the ratio between the two averaged DC voltages. The loss of the converter is proportional to the power transmitted at the second DC side. The parameter eta is the efficiency of the transfer. The loss is computed as

P_loss = (1-η) P_DC,

where P_DC is the power transmitted. This model is symmetric and the power can be transmitted in both directions. The loss is computed depending on the direction of the power flow.

Extends from Buildings.Electrical.Interfaces.PartialConversion (Model representing a generic two port system for conversion).
