Onboard power system for a military vehicle

This demo represents a typical onboard power system for a military vehicle. The main power source is a diesel motor driving an alternator with output rectified to produce a 600 VDC bus voltage, used primarily for vehicle traction. A DC-DC converter converts this voltage to 26 V for hotel loads. In this case, the load consists of a DC motor and an AC inverter with its load.

The diode rectifier uses the ARTEMIS blockset to precompute all modes of the rectifier, thus removing SimPowerSystems mode computation from the real-time loop. The traction motor, DC-motor chopper, and AC inverter use Opal-RT Time-Stamped Bridges. Time-Stamped Bridges use special interpolation techniques to accurately compute the voltage application time for the motors and load.

The model runs in real time at 21 microseconds without I/O on a dual-Xeon-based, 2.4 GHz, RT-LAB simulator.
