51. The principle of inductor volt-second balance:
Derivation
Inductor defining relation:
di (t)
vL(t) = L L
dt
Integrate over one complete switching period:
Ts
iL(Ts) – iL(0) = 1 vL(t) dt
L 0
In periodic steady state, the net change in inductor current is zero:
Ts
0= vL(t) dt
0
Hence, the total area (or volt-seconds) under the inductor voltage
waveform is zero whenever the converter operates in steady state.
An equivalent form:
T
0= 1 s v (t) dt = v
Ts 0 L L
The average inductor voltage is zero in steady state.

Integral of voltage waveform is area of rectangles:
Ts
λ= vL(t) dt = (Vg – V)(DTs) + ( – V)(D'Ts)
0
Average voltage is
vL = λ = D(Vg – V) + D'( – V)
Ts
Equate to zero and solve for V:
0 = DVg – (D + D')V = DVg – V ⇒ V = DVg
Fundamentals of Power Electronics 16 Chapter 2: Principles of steady-state converter analysis
53. The principle of capacitor charge balance:
Derivation
Capacitor defining relation:
dv (t)
iC(t) = C C
dt
Integrate over one complete switching period:
Ts
vC(Ts) – vC(0) = 1 iC(t) dt
C 0
In periodic steady state, the net change in capacitor voltage is zero:
Ts
0= 1 iC(t) dt = iC
Ts 0
Hence, the total area (or charge) under the capacitor current
waveform is zero whenever the converter operates in steady state.
The average capacitor current is then zero.

68. Equate average values to zero
The principles of inductor volt-second and capacitor charge balance
state that the average values of the periodic inductor voltage and
capacitor current waveforms are zero, when the converter operates in
steady state. Hence, to determine the steady-state conditions in the
converter, let us sketch the inductor voltage and capacitor current
waveforms, and equate their average values to zero.
