For these reasons, ESL has been used both to support the development of analytical tools for evaluating the stability of multi-rate simulations and for step-size studies during the development of high-speed real-time simulations of power electronic systems. Analytical results can be easily checked by implementing corresponding multi-rate simulations in ESL to provide experimental confirmation of analytical results. Timing errors in real-time power electronic simulations, which use fixed-step integration algorithms, are a major source of errors and it is these errors rather than the truncation errors produced by the integration algorithm that dictate the choice of step-size. The effect of timing errors can be determined by using the same fixed-step integration algorithms as are used in the real-time simulation and by comparing results with the ESL discontinuity-processing features turned on and off.
Examples are presented of the use of ESL both for supporting analytical studies and for evaluating timing errors in typical applications.
