NU8976A99 HIER466665R0099 HIEE320693R0001 shows a comparison of simulation results using two different device modelling techniques. One used the PLECS toolbox (first two sets of figures) and the other used the Simulink transformation function pathway (last two sets of figures). The simulation results were obtained by using the same control structure and the same device parameters (as shown in the figures). There is hardly any difference between the two different sets of equipment applications. However, the time taken using the PLECS modelled device is four times less than using the Simulink transformation function route. So, the actual time of one second was 59s using PLECS while it was 3 minutes 46s using the Simulink conversion function route.

NU8976A99 HIER466665R0099 HIEE320693R0001 concentrates on power system control simulation operations prior to real-time execution. Firstly the simulation operation of a single phase PV inverter in Simulink has been discussed mainly in the control design in particular. The controller can be automatically tested online using the dSPACE system. Secondly the new component device PLECS is introduced as a circuit simulator. The combination of the two tools provides an excellent environment for the switching of power conversion simulators.
