   DSP based Emulator for Wind Power Generation Systems
By N. Moreno Alfonso; J. M. Carrasco Solís; E. Galván Díez; M. Perales Estévez; L. García Franquelo [View]
[Download]

Abstract: A DSP based Wind Turbine Emulator System is presented. It consists on two-levels software and a workbench of two electrical machines. A high level software (called WindTE®) have been developed for a PC, in a MsWindows style. This software presents the wind to the system and carry out control algorithms for optimal control of maximum wind energy extraction and sets the work-point of the Wind Turbine. A low level software integrated in a DSP develops the vector control of AC generator current and sets the work point of the power electronics. A set of two coupled electrical machines emulates the complete Wind Generator system. An AC induction motor acts as a generator which is feed by a DC machine acting as the Wind Turbine and emulating the wind profile presented by the high level software WindTE. The generator is connected to the grid using IGBTs, so it is possible to emulate many types of Wind Power Generation System, scalled to the mechanical system used.

   Integrative Scheme/Tool for Automated Development of SMPS
By N. Froehleke; H. D. Njiende; D. Hahm; P. Wallmeier [View]
[Download]

Abstract: A survey about a CAE-tool for the optimized development of SMPS is presented incl. its underlying methodology, supporting the selection of power and control topologies by an expert system, the magnetic component and thermal design by an enhanced modeling base for transformers and inductors, embedded into the multi domain simulator SIMPLORER. Additionally, off-line tools for analysis of the ever increasing multitude of new power electronic topologies and controllers based on MATHEMATICA supplement the tool to facilitate an efficient evaluation and comparison. A design optimizer for magnetic components with solenoidal or planar windings is accessible through the SIMPLORER simulation sheet, which proved its capability on various applications by considerable power loss or volume reductions

   Modelling and Simulation of H-Multilevel Inverters
By J. Rodríguez; P. Correa; P. Lezana [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents the simulation of a switching strategy for multilevel cascade inverters, based on the space vector theory, developed in Matlab-Simulink and Simplorer. The proposed switching strategy generates a voltage vector with very low harmonic distortion and reduced switching frequency.
