Abstract: - This paper presents a feasible loss model to Buck converter using Matlab/Simulink. The process of energy
conversion within the converter leads to power losses. The power loss modeling using small signal model and an
algorithm for loss estimation is proposed which ensures fast convergence without the need for any a priori knowledge
of the converter loss related parameters.

5 Conclusion
Using Matlab/Simulink the small signal model of the
buck converter is realized. With the simulated current
and output voltage, the parameters in the circuit are
identified and the losses are estimated. The above-
discussed technique can be used to find the parameters
involved in any circuit without any prior knowledge
of the system considered.
