Power Electronics Control Design

Build accurate system models using MATLAB and Simulink by using libraries of motors, power electronics, sensors, and loads. Explore the full potential of Bode plots and root locus as well as other classic linear control design techniques. The inverter power electronics that regulate voltage and frequency can be controlled via automated PID tuning.
To design current and speed controllers, you can use Simulink to run closed-loop simulations under normal and abnormal operating conditions. To ensure safe motor operation, design fault detection and protection logic for model starting, shutdown, and error modes, as well as derating and protection logic.

Simulate analog and digital components in the same environment with Simulink. Evaluate and verify design choices before implementing the controller with a closed-loop simulation of the power stage and controller.
Model power converters at different levels of fidelity. Using AC frequency sweeps and system identification, perform small signal analysis on switching converter models to obtain linear models. Classic control techniques (Interactive Loop Shaping with Bode, Root-Locus Plots) are possible with these models.

Simulate electronic circuitry and battery pack models with lumped parameters. Work with models that have equivalent RC circuit battery packs models, switching power electronics, and varying loads and environmental conditions. Design, tune, and test supervisory, closed-loop, and fault-detection algorithms with Simulink.
Using test data, tune battery model parameters and capture cell chemistry, thermal, aging, and other nonlinear characteristics. State observers are designed for state-of-charge (SoC) for cell balancing and state-of-health online estimation.
