Abstract

Simulation became an integral part of power electronics and electrical drives learning process. This paper presents a collection of software programs that can be useful in the teaching process of power electronics and electrical drives. This tool is developed with Python language and libraries, which can be freely distributed. Without going through complicated mathematics and software manuals, students can obtain steady state waveforms from power electronics circuits, their mean and RMS values, as well as spectra. Electrical machine principles are also shown, using animation tools.
