National Instruments is collaborating with industry leaders to bring better tools to market for the design and test of power electronics control systems. Hydro-Quebec will present and demo a new API in SimPowerSystems™ that enables more accurate processor-based simulation of switching power systems by using an FPGA to timestamp the switching events. NI will present updates to the Electric Motor Simulation toolkit as well as an FPGA-based circuit simulation solver that supports model export from a variety of industry-standard modeling environments including Multisim. NI will then introduce a new floating point library for FPGA-based control design and simulation along with other new hardware and software for power electronics control.
