This paper presents implementation of rapid control prototype (RCP) for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) using a digital signal processor (DSP) and the PLECS software. By utilization of auto code generation function in the PLECS, a current vector control algorithm for a PMSM drive system using a DSP as a control processor can be developed more efficiently. In this paper, a background of a model based design (MBD) and real time control are reviewed. Also, commercial RCP products compatible with DSP boards are introduced. At the end of the paper, experimental implementation of RCP for a PMSM drive is presented.

Currently, many studies on green ships are under way. Fuel cell (FC) ships are of interest as future low-emission, fuel-efficient vessels. In this paper, a hybrid power management system for an FC ship was designed. The system consists of an FC, a battery, a unidirectional DC/DC converter, a bidirectional DC/DC converter, a filter, an inverter, and a propulsion component. To design the system, we analyze electric sources and converters, and create PLECS models of hybrid power management system. Then, we check the cold start sequence and perform a simulation to understand the characteristics of the hybrid power management system in an FC ship.

In this paper, based on MATLAB which has characteristic that is simply applied to control algorithm and source modeling, photovoltaic modeling is implemented. Photovoltaic modeling is similarly performed PV array and simulated. Also, in order to output maximum power of PV, MPPT control is simulated. Moreover, simulation of converter is performed by means of PLECS (Piece wise Linear Electrical Simulation) which is easily made schematic of power electronics. Also, we compare simulation results and Sharp PV module and Suntech PV module. Finally, informative simulation of PV generation system is provided.

This paper presents an algorithm for a phase-segregated active power filter for three-phase electric system. Due to the symmetrical characteristic of three-phase system and the specialty of distribution system, the proposed algorithm focuses on the extraction of harmonic component of load current in each phase and simulations have been done by PLECS software to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm while loads are nonlinear.

EI core inductor in power electronic circuit simulation is usually assumed as linear by using matrix model. However, nonlinear magnetic characteristics such as B-H characteristic are also important for the accurate simulation of the circuit behavior. To model nonlinear magnetic characteristics of EI core inductor with only DC bias table, this paper presents a method in PLECS simulation tool which is a commercially available simulation tool for power electronics circuit analysis. Comparing with ideal matrix model, the simplification and accuracy are improved by this modeling method. Also, compared to analysis by FEM, it is much simpler, faster and easier to simulate with power electronics circuit. Validation of the proposed model was verified by simulation and experiment results.

Images displayed on a digital devices under the sunlight are generally perceived to be darker than the original images, which leads to a decrease in visibility. For better visibility, global luminance compensation or tone mapping adaptive to ambient lighting is required. However, the existing methods have limitations in chrominance compensation and are difficult to use in real world due to their heavy computational cost. To solve these problems, this paper propose a piece-wise linear curves (PLECs)-based image enhancement method to improve both luminance and chrominance. At this time, PLECs are regressed through deep learning and implemented in the form of a lookup table to real-time operation. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better visibility compared to the original image with low computational cost.

This paper suggests a new reliable push pull converter. The proposed push-pull converter have additional two diodes comparing with conventional push-pull converter. When one of two MOSFETs of the push-pull converter is on state, the other MOSFET is automatically off state due to adding additional diodes. Therefore, the converter is under electric noise environments, the converter avoids short circuit due to turning on of two MOSFETs. In this paper, the suggested converter has been simulated by PLECS software for 100 kHz switching frequency. In simulation, the current of the converter switches increases about 10 % for $20{\mu}sec$ electric noise environments. However, the converter operates very reliably without any short circuit conditions.
