Demands for high-power converters are increasing rapidly. Nevertheless, due to their complex structures and multi-time-scale features, accurate and efficient simulation of such systems has long been a huge obstacle. Aiming at improving the unacceptably slow simulation speed of high-power converters, this paper improves Discrete State Event-Driven (DSED) approach by implementing a decoupling method. Taking a 10kV 1MW electric energy router as an example, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of DSED with the proposed decoupling method in high-power applications. In the studied case, compared with commercially available tool for power electronics simulation, PLECS ® , DSED can achieve an up to 1000-fold improvement in simulation speed under the same accuracy: PLECS ® takes 6 hours while DSED only takes 18 seconds. DSED provides a powerful simulation tool for analysis, design and control of high-power converters.
