A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
This is the quick start guide for PSIM's InstaSPIN DRV8305 companion simulation with the F28069M launchpad: Learn to quickly generate the code and flash the MCU to implement sensorless control of a PMSM. Other videos will cover the different aspects of the simulation in more detail. This video will help you get the motor…
PSIM v12 includes new motor models including an induction machine with high-frequency input impedance for the study of motor drives with AC cable between the inverter and motor as well as a PMSM with spatial harmonic effect modeled showing the impact of the internal magnetic structure on generated torque, back emf, and…
Advanced Functionality of the Motor Control Design Suite. The motor control design suite takes your motor drive system parameters and generates a stable and working motor drive simulation. The output can be edited to suit the designer's needs and particular application. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWHaESeN-yc
In this video, we give an overview of the new functionalities of PSIM's Motor Control Design Suite that were implemented in version release 2021a. Updates include: * Improved motor control blocks with advanced Maximum‐Torque‐Per‐Volt (MTPV) control * New Speed‐Torque Curve and design templates in the Motor Control Design…
HEV powertrain design and simulation with PSIM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYN97VVYaSQ
The output impedance of a closed-loop buck converter is simulated with PSIM. The technique employed in this video is applicable to most other power converters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21y4yBGlQWM
This tutorial video covers how to add a second y-axis for waveform analysis. We use the feature to allow us to easily analyze Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS, of a phase-shifted full-bridge converter. This feature was added in PSIM version 12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsPKpRiR-jU
This video covers the use of PSIM & InstaSPIN to determine the motor parameters of a PMSM motor. The technique is applicable to any three-phase motor. PSIM generates the '*.h' files the InstaSPIN uses. InstaSPIN is an observer algorithm from Texas Instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw36PCYiWSA
This tutorial video introduces the new timing axis which allows users to quickly analyze the relative timing of waveforms. To highlight this feature the gating pulses of a 10-level MMC 3-phase inverter are used. The timing of 10 gating pulses is quickly and easily analyzed in this multi-level inverter.…
PSIM v12 features improvements to the Thermal Module to abstract away complexity from the schematic. The thermal Cauer/Foster model to get from the junction to the device case is now part of the device. Also, you do not need to place ammeters to record the individual conduction and switching losses, you simply toggle…
