For each of the circuits shown below, determine if steady state operation is possible. If yes,
calculate Vo in steady-state (for each). If not, explain why steady state operation is not possible.

Steady state operation is possible, since average current through the capacitor can be zero (due to
resistor across the capacitor) and the current source is never open circuited (note that it is
allowed to short circuit a current source by the switch).

Steady state operation is possible, since average current through the capacitor can be zero (due to
resistor across the capacitor) and the voltage source is never short circuited. It is assumed that
there is no power loss in the ‘valid network’ part.

The above circuit does not result in steady-state, since the upper capacitor has a diode in series
and hence can have only uni-directional current. Average current through this capacitor is nonzero, and hence, current-sec balance for a capacitor is violated.
(e)

A switch is directly in parallel with the output capacitor and hence the circuit is invalid. It will
result in large currents through the switch discharging the output capacitor and the output voltage
will also be zero.
(f)
This is a valid circuit since the output capacitor is no longer short circuited by the switch (compared
to part (e)). Inductor voltage can be positive and negative, and the capacitor current can be positive
and negative satisfying volt-sec balance and current-sec balance respectively.

Optional bonus point problem (20 points)
The PLECS file for the required simulation is attached.
The waveforms in the time frame of 0 to 1 ms is shown below. This corresponds to a transient
condition. The average capacitor current is non-zero and this leads to the charging of the capacitor
from zero to its steady state value of 30 V. The diode current switches between the current source
magnitude (when main switch is off) and zero (when main switch is on) as expected and its CCA
value is always 5x(1-D) = 3A. The output capacitor charges at the time constant of RC = 1 ms.

The waveforms corresponding to the time frame 9.98 ms to 10 ms is shown below. The circuit is
now in steady state with CCA value of capacitor current at 0 A and output at 30 V as expected.
The instantaneous value of capacitor current switches between load current of 3A (discharging)
and iD-iR = 2A (charging). This pulsating current results in small voltage ripple in the capacitor.
