Event-driven approach to control design for single phase inverter

This paper introduces a new, systematic approach to the modeling of systems with discrete and non deterministic signals. Modeling of discrete event-driven systems is based on matrix representation of Petri Nets. The discrete dynamics of such a system is then described by transferring such a system between its specific discrete states, often known as modes. This is described using combination of algebraic and logic equations. To show the application of proposed approach, simulation results for the single phase DC/AC inverter are presented as well as experimental results for the second order element. Connecting introduced modeling approach with the sliding mode theory, overall functionality of the system can be described. This is important for the simulation, analysis and implementation of rare and expensive systems, where the target system does not allow the traditional try and fix implementation approach.
