Vonsch加快了用于太阳能逆变器和电池充电器的控制系统的开发

In the past, VONSCH engineers wrote control software for three-phase inverters by hand in C, which meant they had to wait until hardware was available before software development could start. This approach was feasible when VONSCH had only a few product types sold in larger numbers. As VONSCH began specializing in custom power electronics solutions, the team needed a more efficient process to design a wider variety of products to be sold in smaller numbers.

To speed development while accommodating changing requirements and to manage the added complexity introduced by the single-phase inverters in their newer products, VONSCH needed a way to simulate their control algorithms early in the development process—before hardware was available—and to generate code once the hardware was ready.

VONSCH engineers used Model-Based Design to model, simulate, and generate code for the FOTO CONTROL and FOTO CHARGER control systems.

Working in Simulink^®and Simscape Electrical™, a team of three software engineers created models of electrical systems including transistors, diodes, and batteries. They simulated this model to identify switching transients, optimize values for passive elements, and validate filter behavior with various switching frequencies.

The group modeled multiple controllers in Simulink, including algorithms for DC voltage regulation, power limiting, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).

在硬件可用之前,团队跑关闭-loop simulations with the plant models to verify the initial controller designs.

Once the prototype hardware was ready, the team refined their plant models based on initial hardware tests and used Embedded Coder^®从其为Texas Instruments™Piccolo™微万博1manbetx控制器的Simulink模型中生成C代码。

Following hardware tests in the lab, they used MATLAB^®绘制从微控制器导出的数据，并使用信号处理工具箱进行了光谱分析。

通过几次迭代，团队根据测试结果分析，对目标微控制器的再生代码进行了改进并优化了他们的控制器设计，并在原型硬件上进行了重新测试。万博1manbetx

即使在开发过程中的需求变化引起的延迟，该团队也达到了计划的时间表，以开发FOTO充电器产品，并同时开发了375伏和48伏版本的FOTO控制版本，所有这些版本现在都在生产中。
