    Instructor-Led Training: Power Electronics Control Design

    This overview covers topics in the Power Electronics Control Design with Simulink and Simscape instructor-led training. It highlights the course example used, the main theoretical concepts explained and applied, and the tools and introduced workflows that the course attendees learn to apply during the two-day training.

    The Power Electronics Control Design training is a hands-on course on modeling and controlling power electronics systems in Simulink using Simscape Electrical and Simulink Control Design. In this two-day training, we will build an electric motor drive covering a range of topics, including modeling single-phase DC and three-phase AC-power electronic systems, designing digital controllers, implementing field-oriented control for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, or a PMSM, and integrating electrical components into system-level models.

    The first step will introduce you to building power electronics circuits in Simulink using Simscape electrical blocks. You will learn the multiple ways to parameterize the model components from product data sheets. And you will conduct simulations, allowing you to analyze and compare your results at the converter level and down to the switching component level.

    You will also learn how to compute component efficiencies and quantify conduction losses as well as switching losses and even go beyond the electrical domain in order to conduct thermal analysis of your components and monitor the temperatures of the semiconductor devices. Once the simulated systems are tested and verified, we can move to the next phase of the design, the closed loop control.

    You might be currently tuning your controllers manually or by trial and error. This is a very time-consuming process and can lead to suboptimal results. In addition, power electronic systems are highly nonlinear and discontinuous, which can complicate the tuning process. So in this training, you will learn a systematic control workflow that will allow you to automatically tune PID controllers to achieve the desired closed-loop performance of the converters efficiently and reliably-- in this case, for example, maintaining a constant voltage of 400 volts, regardless of the loading conditions.

    Finally, instead of implementing the set of equations representing the permanent magnet synchronous motor yourself, you will use prebuilt motor models in Simscape Electrical to model this motor and control its torque by tuning and implementing a field-oriented controller.
