Abstract

Selected aspects of the simulation of the power electronics circuit are considered in this Chapter. Special attention is paid to the simulation of power electronics circuits per se and power electronics circuits together with digital control circuits. The presented methods are accompanied by simulations using MATLAB® and PSIM. As an example using PSIM, the three-phase shunt active power filter with three-level inverter is used. For PSIM the considered methods use C source for describing the digital control algorithm. Therefore, it is possible to avoid some limitations associated with the use of defined blocks. Using C code for the realization of the digital control algorithm the user can implement more sophisticated control algorithms. Also considered are PSIMs Hardware Target Modules (e.g., TI F2833x series DSP), together with the SimCoder Module, which provide the capability to automatically generate C code that is ready to run on target specific DSP hardware. The considered simulation methods are illustrated by copious examples.
