99144 - MODELLISTICA CIRCUITALE PER L'ENERTRONICA M

Learning outcomes

The student will acquire knowledge and methodologies for the synthesis and use of continuous, discrete, and real-time models for components, devices and systems for the enertronic, with particular reference to power electronic converters, photovoltaic generators, storage systems and electromagnetic devices.

Course contents

General approach of circuit modelling: continuous-time models, discrete-time models, frequency models. Low- and high-frequency modelling of electromagnetic and electromagnetic devices. Photovoltaic cell models. Linearized converter models. Battery models. State-space model representation: canonical forms, observability, controllability, transfer functions. Discretization methods (Forward Euler, Backward Euler, Tustin). State-space discrete-time model representation, Z-transform, stability regions. Development and implementation of real-time models with reprogrammable digital circuits and networks. Introduction to CPLD and FPGA devices. Implementation methodology on FPGAs, fixed-point representation, design tools. Examples of real-time models.
