RTDS + HIL Testing: New Universal Converter Model

Learn about real-time simulation with experts from RTDS Technologies

What to Expect

Join us for a free webinar where we’ll introduce the newest solution for power electronics modelling with the RTDS Simulator: the Universal Converter Model (UCM).

The UCM offers unique advantages and capabilities, representing a step change in the industry when it comes to real-time power electronics simulation and the hardware-in-the-loop testing of power electronics controllers.

The UCM takes a Descriptor State Space modelling approach, and can achieve accurate switching at over 100 kHz in the Substep environment via an Improved Firing algorithm. In the Mainstep environment, in the 30-50 microsecond timestep range, the UCM allows for accurate switching in the 3 kHz range – without decoupling at the DC bus.

Get a brief history of converter modelling with the RTDS Simulator and a review of models and approaches
Learn the details, benefits, and applications of the new UCM
