Average-Value Chopper
Average Chopper.
Description
The Average-Value Chopper unit is an averaging chopper (converter). Use the Duty Cycle input to convert electrical power between the two sides.
The figure shows the equivalent circuit of the block.
Ports
Input
DutyCycle - duty cycle
scalar
Port associated with the inverter duty cycle.
Data types: Float64
.
Non-directional
1+ - left positive terminal
scalar
Electrical port associated with the positive terminal of the first DC voltage.
1- - left negative terminal
scalar
Electrical port associated with the negative terminal of the first DC voltage.
2+ is the right positive terminal
scalar
Electrical port associated with the positive terminal of the second DC voltage.
2- is the right negative terminal
scalar
Electrical port associated with the negative terminal of the second DC voltage.
Parameters
Chopper type - chopper class
Class A - first quadrant
| Class B - second quadrant
| Class C - first and second quadrant
| Class D - first and fourth quadrant
| Class E - four quadrant (by default)
Chopper Class.
Converter efficiency - Converter efficiency characteristic.
Constant (By default)
| Tabulated
Specify the converter efficiency characteristic.
When Tabulated
is set, the conduction loss will depend on the output current provided.
Extrapolation by nearest neighbour method is used to calculate the efficiency from the data in the table. Therefore, the efficiency cannot be higher than the highest or lower than the lowest value in the Efficiency vector (%). |
Efficiency (%) is the efficiency of the inverter
100 (By default)
| scalar
Inverter efficiency in per cent.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Converter efficiency to Constant
.
Output current vector - output current vector
`[0, 2, 5] A (by default)| a vector of strings with at least two elements
Output current vector.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Converter efficiency to Tabulated
.
Efficiency vector (%) - efficiency vector
[90, 95, 98] (by default)
| a string vector of at least two elements
The efficiency vector for each output current specified in the Output current vector parameter, in per cent.
This parameter must have the same number of elements as the output current vector.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Converter efficiency to Tabulated
.
