Advancing Power Electronics Simulation and Control with MATLAB and Simulink
Overview
Join MathWorks for an onsite seminar and networking event in Birmingham to discuss power electronics simulation and control. In this session, a DC-DC buck converter is used to demonstrate how to model, simulate, and design controllers for power converters with Simulink®, Simscape™ Electrical™, and Simulink® Control Design™.
The session includes modelling power converters at multiple levels of fidelity, from system-level designs to detailed, nonlinear switching designs. It also covers how to load component datasheet parameters into a model, perform power loss and thermal analysis, identify switching and conduction losses, and monitor temperature variations in the power converter.
Additionally, the control design process of a PI controller is explored to meet the desired performance requirements of the buck converter. This section highlights how controllers can be automatically tuned in both the time and frequency domains, eliminating the need for manual control tuning.
Highlights
- Model and simulate power converters
- Conduct electrical and thermal simulation analysis of electrical circuits
- Compute power losses and efficiency of power converters
- Automatically tune controllers to meet desired performance requirements of power converters
Who Should Attend
- Power Electronics Engineers
- Power Systems Engineers
