Software Development of On-Board Power Electronics Equipment Using Model-Based Design Methodology

Abstract

Model-Based Design (MBD) method is applied to power electronics device software development to overcome the problem of low efficiency in manual programming. The concept of Model-Based Design and several common development platforms are introduced. Based on tools in Simulink, an on-board charger control software is developed. Meanwhile the hardware platform, the model building, the model validation and the automatic code generation are also described. Experiments are carried out in the hardware platform to verify the correctness and feasibility of the codes.They are helpful for the software development of power electronics equipments.

Model-based control algorithm development of induction machines by using a well-defined model architecture and rapid control prototyping

“…Studies [5][6][7] focus on the application of MBD methods with emphasis on motor control software development. Paper [8] describes the MBD-procedure of the embedded control software of an on-board charger device. Besides the general presentation of the MBD-procedure, it focuses on safety 1 For avoiding confusion, one should be aware that the term modelbased refers to the development method instead of models potentially applied in control algorithms as in the case of internal model control methods, for example.…”
