Simulation tools for development and test of power electronic systems
Info
Plexim, with locations in Zurich and Boston, is an innovative software company active in the field of technical simulation. For over 20 years we have successfully developed and marketed PLECS – the leading simulation software for power electronic systems and electrical drives. In addition, we offer automatic code generation and real-time systems as pioneering technologies for the development and test of controls. Our customers are industrial corporations of all sizes, research labs and technical universities. They develop systems for electrical energy conversion and thus drive the transition towards electromobility and renewable energy sources. Plexim's simulation tools are heavily employed in the development of electric cars, rolling stock, wind turbines, solar inverters and power supplies. Plexim is a dynamic, owner-managed company with short decision-making processes and a flat hierarchy. We focus our activities on excellent product quality and long-term customer benefits rather than on short-term financial figures. As a climate-neutral company, we strive to minimize business travel and offset the unavoidable remainder of our emissions.

Using multi-core embedded controllers has obvious benefits over single CPU versions, but this comes with the penalties of increased complexity and engineering time. To learn how the PLECS Coder can be efficiently used to go from a model of sophisticated control logic to running code directly on your multi-core target with ease, join our next installment of the PLECS Embedded Office Hours on November 1st! See our colleague's post below for details.
Writing multi-core embedded controls can be quite intimidating. As a newer embedded engineer, I was used to working with highly sequential code. Boot code would precede device initialization, and a sequential control loop then runs with just interrupts to worry about. But full multi-process controls seemed a much larger beast to me. With TI’s F28P65x chips I was tasked with implementing support for multiple CPUs. I quickly realized the power that this allowed for in my applications. Complex controls systems could be deployed with tasks running in parallel, allowing for load distribution between cores and greater application throughput. However, I also quickly realized the complexity that goes into such applications. Considerations must be made for interprocessor communication, boot sequencing, peripheral/clock management, and more. For an engineer looking to quickly develop and iterate on controls systems, this seemed to me a large time sink. That’s where PLECS Coder comes in. Embedded models created in PLECS can easily have tasks assigned to CPUs, allowing for powerful controls to be deployed without the hassle of implementing complex IPC and boot code. Less time spent combing through data sheets, more time spent iterating on controls. If you want to learn more about multi-core code generation, please come visit our PLECS Embedded Office Hours on 11/1 at 9 AM EDT or 1PM EDT. We will be happy to chat and provide demonstrations. If you are interested, please contact David Pierre or email Plexim at info@plexim.com for a Zoom link. #PLECS #embedded #TI #C2000 #multicore

We invite you to "PLECS Embedded Office Hours" next Friday 9/27 at 9 AM EDT or 1 PM EDT with our colleague Beat Arnet. While you can come to learn about analyzing switch losses related to their PWM patterns such as during stall torque conditions, this is a great opportunity to ask other questions as well! Contact David Pierre or email info@plexim.com for the Zoom link to join.
At Solectria Corporation (best first job ever), John P. Deyst and I came up with an idea for maximizing the stall torque of an EV drive. The approach was based on making use of Discontinuous SVPWM and alternating the zero-vectors at ~1/10th of the switching frequency to more evenly distribute the losses across the six diodes and IGBTs. We obtained a patent for this (US6643149B2), which is now in the public domain. The extra degree of freedom that the two zero vectors provide also creates possibilities to better distribute the losses between the inverter and the electric machine. If you are interested in this topic, then I invite you join my "PLECS Embedded Office Hours" on 9/27 at 9 AM EDT or 1 PM EDT for an informal demo and chat. Please reach out to David Pierre or email Plexim to receive a Zoom link.
