Developing Electrical Systems with Simscape Electrical: Simulating Switched-Mode Power Supply

Learn how to model and simulate a switched-mode power supply that is generally used for laptop or mobile phone chargers. Using Simulink^® and Simscape Electrical™, MathWorks engineers will show how to develop, simulate, and tune a controller that maintains desired output voltage in the presence of input voltage variations and load changes to achieve a fast and stable response. Highlights include:

• Modeling and simulating passive circuit elements, power semiconductors, and varying power sources and loads
• Simulating the converter in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes
• Calculating power factor and total harmonic distortion (THD) via spectrum analyzer of the switched-mode power supply  
• Tuning the PID controller to meet rise time, overshoot, and settling time
