Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​CauerLowPassAnalog
Cauer low pass filter with analog components

Information

The example Cauer Filter is a low-pass-filter of the fifth order. It is realized using an analog network. The voltage source V is the input voltage (step), and the R2.p.v is the filter output voltage. The pulse response is calculated.

The simulation end time should be 60. Please plot both V.p.v (input voltage) and R2.p.v (output voltage).

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​CauerLowPassOPV
Cauer low pass filter with operational amplifiers

Information

The example Cauer Filter is a low-pass-filter of the fifth order. It is realized using an analog network with operational amplifiers. The voltage source V is the input voltage (step), and the OP5.out.v is the filter output voltage. The pulse response is calculated.

This model is identical to the CauerLowPassAnalog example, but inverting. To get the same response as that of the CauerLowPassAnalog example, a negative voltage step is used as input.

The simulation end time should be 60. Please plot both V.v (which is the inverted input voltage) and OP5.p.v (output voltage). Compare this result with the CauerLowPassAnalog result.

During translation some warnings are issued concerning resistor values (Value=-1 not in range [0,1e100]). Do not worry about it. The negative values are o.k.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​CauerLowPassSC
Cauer low-pass filter with operational amplifiers and switched capacitors

Information

The example CauerLowPassSC is a low-pass-filter of the fifth order. It is realized using an switched-capacitor network with operational amplifiers. The voltage source V is the input voltage (step), and the OP5.out.v is the filter output voltage. The pulse response is calculated.

This model is identical to the CauerLowPassAnalog example, but inverting. To get the same response as that of the CauerLowPassAnalog example, a negative voltage step is used as input.

This model is identical to the CauerLowPassOPV example. But the resistors are realized by switched capacitors (see SwitchedCapacitor). There are two different types of instances, one with a value of R=1 and one with a value of R=-1.

The simulation end time should be 60. Please plot both V.v (which is the inverted input voltage) and OP5.out.v (output voltage). Compare this result with the CauerLowPassAnalog result.

Due to the recharging of the capacitances after switching the performance of simulation is not as good as in the CauerLowPassOPV example.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​CharacteristicIdealDiodes
Characteristic of ideal diodes

Information

Three examples of ideal diodes are shown:
the totally ideal diode (Ideal) with all parameters to be zero, the nearly ideal diode with Ron=0.1 and Goff=0.1 and the nearly ideal but displaced diode with Vknee=5 and Ron=0.1 and Goff=0.1. The resistance and conductance are chosen untypically high since the slopes should be seen in the graphics.

Simulate until T=1 s. Plot in separate windows: Ideal.i versus Ideal.v, With_Ron_Goff.i versus With_Ron_Goff.v, With_Ron_Goff_Vknee.i versus With_Ron_Goff_Vknee.v

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​CharacteristicThyristors
Characteristic of ideal thyristors

Information

This example compares the behavior of the ideal thyristor and the ideal GTO thyristor with Vknee=1 both. The thyristors IdealThyristor1 and IdealGTOThyristor1 are controlled by an unregular Boolean fire signal. The aim is to show several cases for the fire signal in combination with the state (s<0 or s>0)of the thyristors. Please simulate until 6 seconds and compare IdealThyristor1.v with IdealGTOThyristor1.v, the same with IdealThyristor1.s and IdealGTOThyristor1.s (attention: s is a protected variable in each thyristor). Also compare IdealThyristor1.off and IdealGTOThyristor1.off and have a look at the fire signal (e.g. IdealThyristor1.fire). It can be seen that the IdealGTOThyristor1 reacts on switching off the fire signal whereas the IdealThyristor1 does not show this behavior.

The other thyristors IdealThyristor2 and IdealGTOThyristor2 are controlled by an periodic Boolean fire signal to show a typical use case. Please compare IdealThyristor2.v with IdealGTOThyristor2.v

Information

The heating "PNP NOR" gate shows a heat flow always if a transistor is conducting.

Simulate until T=200 s. Plot V1.v and V2.v and C2.v to see the NOR-functionality. High potential is -6V which means logic "true". Low potential is 0V which means logic "false".

To see which transistor is conducting one can have a look at the temperatures T1.heatPort.T and T2.heatPort.T and the heat flows T1.heatPort.Q_flow and T2.heatPort.Q_flow of the heatports of the transistors T1 and T2.

They are different from zero if the transistor is conducting.

Information

The rectifier example shows a B6 diode bridge fed by a three phase sinusoidal voltage, loaded by a DC current. DC capacitors start at ideal no-load voltage, thus making easier initial transient.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​SimpleTriacCircuit
Simple triac test circuit

Information

The simple TRIAC example shows how the SimpleTriac is used within an alternating current circuit.

The TRIAC is not conducting until the Gate input g becomes positive. Then it becomes "conducting". If the TRIAC voltage changes its direction, the TRIAC becomes blocking. Due to the antiparallel connection of the internal two thyristors the same behavior is repeated in the negative half-wave.

Simulate until 0.001 seconds. Display V.p.v (input voltage), simpleTriac.g.i (gate input), and both simplelTriac.n.v and simpleTriac.n.i, which demonstrate the TRIAC behavior.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​IdealTriacCircuit
Ideal triac test circuit

Information

The simple ideal TRIAC example shows how a triac is used within an alternating current circuit.

The TRIAC is not conducting until the Boolean input becomes true (internally coded by 1, therefore the input is called fire1). Then it becomes "conducting", the knee voltage is reached. If the TRIAC voltage falls below the knee voltage, the TRIAC becomes blocking. Due to the antiparallel connection of the internal two thyristors the same behavior is repeated in the negative half-wave.

Simulate until 2 seconds. Display V.p.v (input voltage), booleanPulse.y (fire1 input), and both idealTriac.n.v and idealTriac.n.i, which demonstrate the TRIAC behavior.

Information

The simple converter circuit converts an analog sine signal into a N-bit (by default a 4 bit) logic signal, which is converted backward into an analog signal.

Compare the input voltage (aD_Converter.p.v) with the output voltage (dA_Converter.p.v). By changing N the influence of the digital signal width can be studied. Otherwise the trigger frequency pulse.period can be changed to see its influence.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​GenerationOfFMUs
Example to demonstrate variants to generate FMUs (Functional Mock-up Units)

Information

This example demonstrates how to generate an input/output block (e.g. in form of an FMU - Functional Mock-up Unit) from various Electrical components. The goal is to export such an input/output block from Modelica and import it in another modeling environment. The essential issue is that before exporting it must be known in which way the component is utilized in the target environment. Depending on the target usage, different connector variables need to be in the interface with either input or output causality. Note, this example model can be used to test the FMU export/import of a Modelica tool. Just export the components marked in the icons as "toFMU" as FMUs and import them back. The models should then still work and give the same results as a pure Modelica model.

Connecting two capacitors
The first part (DirectCapacitor, InverseCapacitor) demonstrates how to export two capacitors and connect them together in a target system. This requires that one of the capacitors (here: DirectCapacitor) is defined to have states and the voltage and derivative of voltage are provided in the interface. The other capacitor (here: InverseCapacitor) requires current according to the provided input voltage and derivative of voltage.

Connecting a resistance element between two capacitors
The second part (Resistor2) demonstrates how to export a resistance element that needs only voltages for its resistance law and connect this resistance law in a target system between two capacitors.

Connecting two inductors
The third part (DirectInductor, InverseInductor) demonstrates how to export two inductors and connect them together in a target system. This requires that one of the inductors (here: DirectInductor) is defined to have states and the current and derivative of current are provided in the interface. The other inductor (here: InverseInductor) requires voltage according to the provided input current and derivative of current.

Connecting a conductance element between two inductors
The fourth part (Conductor4) demonstrates how to export a conductance element that needs only currents for its conductance law and connect this conductance law in a target system between two inductors.

Bear in mind that separating physical components and connecting them via adaptor signals requires to place appropriate ground components to define electric potential within the subcircuits.

Model Modelica.​Electrical.​Analog.​Examples.​ResonanceCircuits
Resonance circuits: example to demonstrate generation of FMUs (Functional Mock-up Units)

Information

This example demonstrates how to couple the components of a parallel resonance circuit (upper part) and a series resonance circuit (lower part) not directly but using adaptors between physical connectors and input/output signals. Taking into account which derivatives are required, these components can be exported as input/output blocks (e.g. in form of an FMU - Functional Mock-up Unit). Connecting these input/output blocks should give the same results as connecting the physical components directly.

Bear in mind that separating physical components and connecting them via adaptor signals requires to place appropriate ground components to define electric potential within the subcircuits.
