PLECS Application Examples

On this page you can find new PLECS models of converters and other electrical systems. More example converter models are located in the PLECS library under Demos.

Space Vector Modulation

In this example, decoupled dq current control and space vector modulation are used to control a 3 phase PWM boost rectifier. » Detailed description

Photovoltaic String

This example demonstrates a photovoltaic (PV) string that comprises an arbitrary number of series-connected modules. The PV model reflects the nonlinear V/I characteristic and accounts for temperature effects. » Detailed description

Doubly-fed Induction Generator

This example shows a wind turbine with a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). In addition to modeling the rotor-side converters and their controllers, the DFIG model accounts for the aerodynamics of the wind turbine and the mechanical dynamics of the induction machine. » Detailed description

Flyback Converter

In this example, a flyback converter is controlled with an inner current control loop and an outer voltage control loop. The PLECS impulse response analysis tool is used to obtain the frequency response of the current controlled converter in order to design the voltage control loop. » Detailed description

Lithium-Ion Battery

Lithium-ion cells have become a ubiquitous technology in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and low maintenance requirements. In this example, the dependence of cell voltage on state of discharge and temperature is modeled. » Detailed description
