Resumo:
Power electronics disciplines involve different fundamental topics and technologies. The use of the Internet facilitates and supports the transmission of the theoretical concepts of the teacher to the student and improve the sequence of activities within the available time. The main goal of this work is to develop an emulator software tool to facilitate the usage of control loop fundamentals when applied to DC-to-DC converters. This emulator is a very solid tool for the educational community, and it allows students to analyze and design control circuits in a very flexible way. This resource is available online without time restrictions, allowing users to choose where and when they can learn and interact with the tool which offers a variety of different DC-DC converters, compensation networks and feedback topologies. Once the selection has been made and the different values of the components have been established, a frequency response analysis is shown. The development of the software tool can be operated using any modern browser under any platform and device. The effectiveness of the presented emulator software tool was assessed with the feedback obtained for the students and the results obtained therefor.
