1-phase VSI
The circuit schematic and the corresponding gate signals for a single-phase inverter are shown below. The parameter values are $V_{dc}=400\,$V, $R=5\,\Omega$, $L=1\,$mH. Find the angle $\phi$ for which the RMS of the fundamental voltage $V_{BD}$ across the load is $100\,$V.In [1]:

We now replace the strings such as \$Vdc, \$L, with the values of our choice by running the python script given below. It takes an existing circuit file VSI_1ph_15_orig.in and produces a new circuit file VSI_1ph_15.in, after replacing \$Vdc, \$L, etc. with values of our choice.

The circuit file (VSI_1ph_15.in) is created in the same directory as that used for launching Jupyter notebook. The last step (i.e., running GSEIM on VSI_1ph_15.in) creates a data file called VSI_1ph_15.datin the same directory. We can now use the python code below to compute/plot the various quantities of interest.
