Simulator for power devices

  Proteus can help to an extent in high power scenario. Try Hspice that holds good for most of the power device simulation
  
  Pspice is a good place for starters so they have very little manipulative tools for power electronic concepts
  
  So industrial standard Hspice must have libraries to support power devices

  Will you please share link for Hspice? Is it free tool?

  I don't think it is a free ware sir

  this is their official link and from there you can get to in detail about their product.
  
  Next try their description abut that simulation tool #-Link-Snipped-#

  There is a tool "PowerSim" using that you can simulate for the power devices e.g. SCR, IGBT, Thyristors etc.

  Hello Sir. Mr. Harshad Italia. I think you can go with MATLAB. There are many tools in MATLAB which will help you in any of the simulation related to Power Electronics or Power Systems etc.
  MATLAB is always available in the internet. The latest version is MATLAB 2013b.
  In it there are libraries for particular purpose.
  Like SimPower for power system
  SimElectronics for Power electronics.
  You will need to use the Simulink Library for developing the simulation and viewing the result of the Simulation.

  #-Link-Snipped-# Thank you buddy for reply. I am newbie for MATLAB. But can you tell me if using some library I can directly simulate such power devices in MATLAB? Or it will need some coding kind of thing and then I can simulate power devices?

  Hello Sir.
  
  It doesn't require any coding for simulating the power devices. We can use simulink blocks for the purpose, and you will just need to connect it and run it.
  
  In the MATLAB Command Window just type ' simulink '. Then a library will be opened in which you can find the electronic devices in the Tags SimEvents or SimElectronics depending upon the version of MATLAB you are using.
  
  In the Simulink Library you can find all type of signals and signal generators, voltage sources, power switching devices etc.
  You have to use a 'scope ' for viewing the result or output of the device. This block can be found in Tag Sinks.
  
  Also if you are not able find the component required by you, then you can search it in the library itself. The search option is at the top of the library window.
