This guide provides an overview of the Two Level Inverter example included in the OPAL-RT Power Electronics Add-On for NI VeriStand. We will discuss deploying, running, and monitoring the simulation in real-time.
For a brief guide explaining how to configure and deploy an example project quickly, refer to Getting Started with an Example Project instead.
The model used in this example was created using the Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems Simulink Blockset. It represents a two-level inverter. In this example, we supply a constant voltage to the model through the Vdc block, and gating signals are routed from the on-board SPWM generators to the six IGBTs in the Inverter block. The inverter voltages and currents Vabc_inv and Iabc_inv are displayed in the user interface.
