Learn How to Design and Tune Inverter Control Algorithms for Maximum Power Output and Optimize Your Inverter Design Skills using Simulink and Simscape Electrical

Overview

In this session will learn how to model grid-tied inverter using Simulink and Simscape Electrical and perform power electronic simulation. Then use this model to design and tune the inverter’s closed-loop and supervisory control algorithm using PID control, maximizing power output using maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT), and design a fault ride-through algorithm (FRT). Generate optimized C code using hardware support package for embedded coder for deployment. Finally, perform power electronics hardware in the loop (HIL) testing and thoroughly test the digital control for the inverter under normal and fault conditions.

Highlights:

• Simulate photovoltaic (PV) farms, grid-scale three-phase inverters, and grid loads.
• Develop and tune control algorithms to regulate voltage and maintain grid synchronization using phase-locked loops.
• Development of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to maximize PV power under various conditions.
• Develop supervisory controls for low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) during voltage or frequency disturbances.
• Generate C code from control algorithms and hardware deployment.
• Generate C and HDL code from Simulink and Simscape Electrical for real-time targets with multicore CPUs and FPGAs.
• Discuss hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations to test code running on the microcontroller.
