Plecs Essentials And Applications For Power Electronics
Learn to Model, Simulate, and Optimize Power Electronics with PLECS
What you'll learn
Master the Basics of PLECS
Build and Simulate Power Electronic Circuits
Model and Control DC and AC Power Converters
Perform Thermal Modeling and Loss Analysis
Develop Custom Control with PLECS C-Scripts
Simulate Full-Scale Grid-Connected Systems
Requirements
Basic Understanding of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Knowledge of Power Electronics Principles
Access to PLECS Software
Basic Programming Skills (Optional)
A PC or Laptop
Interest in Power System & Electronics Modeling
Description
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to PLECS (Piecewise Linear Electrical Circuit Simulation), a powerful tool for modeling and simulating power electronics and control systems. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced engineer, this course will guide you step-by-step from the fundamentals of circuit design to advanced converter modeling.In the first module, you’ll gain an understanding of PLECS capabilities, its interface, and the differences between PLECS Standalone and Blockset. We’ll walk you through installation, licensing, and project creation to ensure you’re ready to dive in. From there, you’ll build your first project, learning how to configure blocks, visualize results, and construct an RLC circuit with adding power electronic components like diodes, transistors, and thyristors.
Advanced modules focus on modeling DC and AC power converters, exploring control techniques like PWM, closed-loop control, and dq0-frame conversion. You’ll also learn to incorporate thermal modeling, analyze power losses, determine expected converter efficiencies and work with non-ideal switches. Additionally, the course introduces the PLECS C-script block for creating custom control functions.In the final module we will tie everything together by going through the step-by-step development of a full converter application : a 3-phase 2-level grid-connected voltage source inverter, with casqueding control topology and non-ideal switches. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to model, simulate, and optimize complex power electromic systems with PLECS. All models created by instructor throughout the course are attached.
