Course
Highlights
This course focuses on modeling and controlling power electronic systems in the Simulink® environment using Simscape Electrical™. Throughout this course the necessary skills to build a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) motor drive model will be covered. Important best practices such as Incremental design and continuous testing on the system components separately before attempting to build a system-level model will be elaborated. This will build confidence in the components and will help to identify and isolate issues early.
Topics include:
- Modeling direct current (DC) power electronic systems
- Parameterizing power semiconductor devices
- Controlling the level of fidelity in a model
- Developing digital controls for power electronics
- Modeling three-phase alternating current (AC) power electronic components
- Controlling power electronics for motor drive applications
- Integrating electrical components and controllers into a system-level model
