Simulation Model of High Voltage Frequency Converter: PowerFlex7000, Vector Control, Simulink

The demand for sophisticated frequency converters in the industry has recently increased. Hence, the tools for simulation and performance verification of such converters or control systems which embedded them are also needed to save both money and time. The book describes the implementation of fully operating simulink model of the high voltage frequency converter PowerFlex7000. The model is thoroughly tested in several speed and torque regulations with induction (asynchronous) machines of various power and load characteristics. The comparison between scalar frequency converters is also made. The designed model focuses on the overall behavior; therefore; it offers a unique and flexible tool for interfacing the model of the converter with mechanical, electrical or any other model and hence allowing simulation of complex control systems. The book could help anyone who deals with design, simulation and performance verification of control systems where either PowerFlex7000 or any other vector control based frequency converter is used.
