Power Electronics Optimization Framework
The Switched Mode Power Supply Toolbox provides capabilities for the steady-state and small-signal modeling of switched mode power supplies. These capabilities facilitate design optimization in power electronics for a variety of applications.
The toolbox is designed to model power electronics in a manner that is
- Accurate: integrates nonlinear behaviors to result in non-idealized predictions of real-world performance
- Unified: can be applied to designs across topological, implementation, and operational barriers
- Rapid: can be completed without the need for extensive computational resources or long simulation times
- Adaptable: robust to varying levels of design data and applicable to varying physical implementations
The toolbox is tested with MATLAB R2022b and after. Known issues will occur with MATLAB versions prior to R2020b.
The latest build of the packaged toolbox from the repository.
Additional releases are available from the Releases folder of the repository. Drag and drop the mlbtx file into your matlab workspace to install. To view the installed files, uninstall, or manage the installation of the toolbox, go to MATLAB Home->Add-Ons->Manage Add-Ons and find "Switched Mode Power Supply Toolbox" in your list of installed toolboxes.
From the MATLAB command line, run updateToolbox to update both the toolbox code and associated libraries. After the first installation, re-running this script will always allow you to update to the latest version of the toolbox and databases.
For an introduction to the toolbox, see the GettingStarted.mlx or the web-based version of the same file GettingStarted.md
For an example use case, see SeriesCapBuck.mlx or the web-based version of the same file SeriesCapBuck.md
