Description
Summary:This paper explores the features of numerical simulation used to analyze the dynamic behaviour of drives controlled by pulse-width modulators. Modern motor control systems commonly employ pulse-width modulation. Effective numerical modelling of such systems presents unique challenges because the models employed are continuous-event and have hybrid behaviour due to the presence of nonlinear links with discontinuities of the first kind. Therefore, it is essential to have special integration methods with variable steps, which should be factored in when developing the model. This paper shows how these problems are solved when modelling an electric drive with a DC motor using the SimInTech software.
