Abstract :

Power electronic converters are fundamental components in modern electrical and energy systems, supporting applications such as renewable energy integration, electric mobility, and intelligent power distribution. Despite their widespread use, the dynamic behavior of these converters under extreme operating conditions remains insufficiently understood, particularly when nonlinear effects dominate system performance. Traditional linearized models often fail to capture the complex interactions introduced by high switching frequencies, abrupt load transients, thermal stress, and input voltage disturbances. These factors give rise to nonlinear dynamics that significantly influence system stability and operational reliability.
