About the instructors

Pavol Bauer received his Masters in Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Kosice and PhD from the Delft University of Technology. Since 1990 he is with the Delft University of Technology. Mr. Bauer published over 60 papers in his field. He is reviewer of different IEEE proceedings and member of the International Technical Committee of several conferences. His research interest include power electronic circuit topologies, soft switching, simulation of power electronics, control and dynamic analysis of power converters.

Peter van Duijsen has worked with computer simulation and power electronics for over 10 years. After receiving his Masters in Electrical Engineering and working at the Technical University of Delft, he founded Simulation Research and developed the simulation program CASPOC.

CONTENT

The aim of the seminar is to teach the participants how to efficiently use modeling and simulation in power electronics and electrical drive design. The participant will learn where to use modeling and simulation and how to choose for an appropriate tool.

THEORY

The purpose of this seminar is to explain how simulation programs work. You will understand what you can do and what you can't do using simulation. Also it is explained how models are set-up efficiently in order to reduce simulation times and increase the value of the simulation results for your designs.

• Introduction in modeling and simulation (Models for transient analysis, State Space, State Space Averaging, Mathematical background of various simulation programs, Multilevel programs, Multilevel modeling)

• The simulation and modeling of future integrated power electronics will be reviewed and the theoretical background will be given.

• Understand how simulation packages such as SIMULINK, EMTP and SPICE work and how to apply the right package for a specific simulation problem

• Introduction in dedicated tools for modeling power electronics and drives

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

The seminar will be conducted in a PC class for hands-on experience. It includes the practical evaluation of several simulation examples of power electronics and electrical drives using the CASPOC simulation program:

• Modeling and simulation of DC and AC power electronics and control

• Hands-on experience using different programs such as Spice, Matlab/Simulink, Power 4-5-6, Kopl and Caspoc, to see the advantages/disadvantages of the various programs.

• Multilevel modeling of electrical drives (power electronics, induction machine, mechanical load and control)(Stepper motors, Brushless DC, Vector control)

• Active filtering, compare simulated harmonics against the IEC 1000-3 limit

• Working with phasors, Park-transformations, digital control and building component models

HANDOUTS

Each participant will receive the CASPOC-Express version of the simulation program for power electronics and electrical drives, including manual and examples. Further handouts include presented materials.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers, managers and researchers working in the field of power electronics and electrical drives.

BENIFITS

You will understand how to apply simulation to your own designs and you will be able to make simulations of power electronics and drive designs using your own CASPOC Express version.

(* The seminar will be conducted in a PC class for hands-on experience, English and German speaking instructors)
