POWER

Overview

POWER is a program for the simulation of an electric network consisting of resistances, inductances, current and voltage sources, with arbitrary interconnection and coupling. It is specially tailored for the transient analysis of the evolution of current and voltage in a coil connected to a power supply.

[electrical circuit]

The model of the electrical circuit is obtained by an arbitrary assembly of:
  • resistances. These can be constant or variable resistances, which may include the resistance of the quenching cable, or a user's defined non-linear resistance dependent on time, current and terminal voltage;

  • inductances. Arbitrary coil inductances (self and mutual) can be defined;

  • voltage or current sources. Power supplies can be modelled using constant or variable (user's defined) current and voltage sources;

  • connections. The components can be arbitrarily connected to form the desired network connectivity.
The user's has control of non-linearities through interface routines.
