Abstract

Power electronics circuits are rich in nonlinear dynamics. Their operation is characterized by cyclic switching of circuit topologies, which gives rise to a variety of nonlinear behavior. This paper provides an overview of the chaotic dynamics and bifurcation scenarios observed in power converter circuits, emphasizing the salient features of the circuit operation and the modeling strategies. In particular, this paper surveys the key publications in this field, reviews the main modeling approaches, and discusses the salient bifurcation behaviors of power converters with particular emphasis on the disruption of standard bifurcation patterns by border collisions.
