Outcomes
• The concept and function of several converter approaches in the field of
power electronics were understood by the students.
• Utilizing various power converters, students developed their confidence in
the real-world application of power electronics.
• Students can develop their simulation abilities and build simulations for
various circuits using their own talents.
• For the realization of their projects, the students were able to comprehend
and model the circuits.
• Falstad Circuit simulation is a method that creates and analyses a model of
an electronic circuit using different software algorithms to predict and
confirm the behavior and performance of the circuit.
• A falstad circuit simulator is an excellent tool for learning about circuits,
testing out new ideas, or troubleshooting a design prototype that has failed
on the breadboard.
• By using this simulator, students can learn how the RL, RC, and RLC
branch elements work to control the supply voltage and current.
There are numerous applications for falstad simulation, including testing,
teaching, and performance tuning or optimization of technology.
