Ridley Engineering has led post-university practical education in power electronics design since 1991. In 1999, we developed a hands-on, very personal approach to education. In our 5-day workshops, we teach engineers how to design, build, test, debug and solve problems in our teaching lab. Our methodology is captured in our software, which is provided for each engineer as part of the educational package. As the industry evolves, we help engineers gain a more powerful knowledge base in all aspects of design. Adding to this signature experience, we developed the hardware and software used in the lab with training in mind.
Learn first-hand from Dr. Ray Ridley, one of the top power electronics industry consultants and inventor of the most accurate model available for current-mode control. Dr. Ridley combines the teaching of theoretical and practical concepts, and hands-on experience with the latest high-tech design software and laboratory instruments. It's an educational opportunity you can't afford to miss.
"This is a book about control of PWM converters. It is intended to guide the reader through the confusing array of choices available in designing a modern switching power supply. This book highlights the main control issues encountered in dc-dc converters.
The harsh reality of power supply development is that they rarely behave in an expected manner, or in the manner that simulators dictate. Therefore, you must build hardware, then test and measure as quickly as possible to uncover problems. This book is intended to help you get there faster by providing key information, and showing where the issues lie."
Experience, learn and build. Only 24 attendees are accepted in this 5-day workshop to maximize the experience. Learn how to design and build working power supplies. Gain experience in topologies, magnetics and control. Then analyze and troubleshoot design problems at each stage of the process.
Power supplies are prone to failure for numerous reasons. We recently conducted a survey with a group of almost 3,000 active power supply design engineers to discover the reasons. The experiences they shared were enlightening. This article summarizes our findings.
While power supplies are a mature technology, they continue to be plagued with field failures. When something stops working in an electronics system, the power supply is the usual suspect. In order to find out why this is still a problem in our industry, we went directly to the subject in question with the LinkedIn group:
Ridley Engineering is a power systems design and consulting company dedicated to providing state-of-the-art products, services and publications for the power supply industry. The company was founded in April 1991, and has since provided products and services to thousands of companies worldwide.
RidleyWorks allows users to easily design a power converter with analog control. Another key feature is the magnetics design element which models the core losses and proximity losses of the windings. Until now the only option to export this converter was to export it into LTspice or to build the converter from scratch in another tool.
Power management encompasses a range of power converter types and topologies and includes systems like motor drives, ac/dc power supplies, dc/dc converters, and battery chargers. Designing compact, cost-effective, and efficient power management systems is challenging and requires a combination of skills in high voltage and high current design, control loop optimization, mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI), and thermal management and mechanical design.
To speed the design of power management systems designers can turn to a variety of electronic design automation (EDA) options including EDA tools from power component suppliers, general EDA tools with added power design capabilities, and power management EDA tools from specialist companies. This second of two FAQs reviews several options from specialist power EDA tool makers. Each of these EDA environments provides different tool sets and makes different demands on designers for power supply design expertise. Part one reviewed some of the power design tools available from component suppliers and general-purpose EDA tool suppliers.
Simulation platform
Piecewise linear electrical circuit simulation, PLECS, facilitates the modeling and simulation of complete systems, including power sources, power converters, and loads. PLECS captures power circuits with a schematic editor and includes a tool library that covers the electrical, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical aspects of power system design. The interface enables designers to extract specific waveforms for analysis. The analysis tools can provide steady-state operating points or open-loop and closed-loop transfer functions. For advanced analysis, designers can extract state-space matrices of the system.
Motor drives and power converters
PSIM design and simulation tools from Altair can handle a wide range of activities including power converter loss calculations, motor drive efficiency calculations, conducted EMI analysis, and analog or digital control. PSIM also offers automatic embedded code generation for rapid control prototyping. Available Design Suites support power supplies (including resonant LLC converters), motor drives, electromagnetic interference (EMI) analysis and filter design, and hybrid and electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain systems. PSIM provides multiple levels of model complexity so designers can optimize simulations to meet specific simulation goals. It integrates with other Altair platforms like Flux/FluxMotor and MotionSolve, and with third-party software to support the design of multi-domain and multi-physics systems. Co-simulation can be implemented by linking to Simulink, ModelSim, LTspice, or any functional mock-up interface (FMI) supporting software (Figure 2).
Summary
Specialist power EDA tools are available that can address general power converter design, motor drive design, digital power, and other focused applications. In one case the EDA tools are a free service supported by component suppliers. Tools are available that provide extensive design, simulation, and design verification functions and several can link with third-party software for co-simulation. The first FAQ in this series presented some power EDA offerings from component suppliers and general-purpose EDA tool suppliers.
In this paper, a pulsed MIG welding power system based on the interleaved paraller two-transistor forward converter is studied. The hardware structure principle diagram and overall control scheme of the system are analyzed. This paper focuses on the analysis of the small-signal model of the main circuit, and establishes the transfer function of the arc-length loop and the current loop respectively, and designs a double closed-loop controller. Experiments were carried out according to the paper's scheme. The experimental waveforms prove that the power system scheme of this paper is correct and feasible.
