Techniques for the practical application of duality to power circuits

Techniques are presented that simplify the application of duality to power convertor circuits. Duals are derived for ideal switches, including two- and four-quadrant switches and SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers), transformers and coupled inductors (including multiwinding components), and saturable inductors and capacitors. A collection of common topological structures and the corresponding duals is given. The library of dual relations allows even complicated circuits to be transformed primarily by substitution.<
