Exhaustive Power Electronic Model Library

  • Incorporates an elaborate electric drive library for all motor types (PMSM, IM DQ, etc) and complex voltage source converters (two level, three level and matrix converter, etc).
  • Supports JMAG finite-element-based motor models for greater simulation accuracy.
  • Simulates AC and DC power electronic application including multi-drive system, medium size grids, multi-winding transformer with saturation, and HVDC and FACTS.
  • Interfaces with SimPowerSystems, Plecs, SimScape, AMEsim and Dymola to take advantages of models and solvers available in industry-standard simulation tools.
  • Tightly interface with Simulink for control system and user model development.

Advanced Solver for Maximum Accuracy and Flexibility

  • Comes with unique solvers that ensure simulation of the highest number of switches while making no compromise on accuracy.
  • Simulates the effect of IGBT dead time using a unique solver with time stamping and interpolation.
  • Simulates cogging torque due to rotor asymmetry, back EMF harmonics and core saturation.
  • Simulates transients and fault conditions difficult or impossible to do on physical systems.
  • Optimized for parallel and real-time simulation of interconnected multi-drive systems with hundreds of switches.
  • Allows users to implement their own models, solvers and signal processing on FPGA chips to achieve sub microsecond time step.

Integrates Complete Test Automation Software to Perform Open-loop and Closed-loop testing.

  • Supports a very wide range of visualization and test automation tools such as Matlab, Simulink, Plecs, Python, LabView, TestStand, ScopeView, etc.
  • Provides a unique integrated simulation environment to perform data acquisition, signal processing, and waveform visualization.

Open and High-Performance FPGA and Multi-core Processing Technologies
