Implementation of a Simulation Model and Validation through existing Hardware to characterize a 5kW, 48V-Input Turbo-Compressor Driver
A current development at Celeroton AG is a 5kW, 48V-input DC/AC Converter to drive low-voltage turbo-compressor systems. However, by lack of detailed simulation models and their validation in hardware, the testing of such systems is not supported by simulated results that confirm proper operation, which makes commissioning difficult. Furthermore, such simulation models would be of great benefit in case of system redesign or designing new systems with similar specifications.
This work aims the implementation of a detailed simulation model of the existing turbo-compressor driver using Gecko Circuits or a similar simulation software. This includes understanding the schematics of the designed system, modeling each component that affects operation (including parasitics) and validating results by means of hardware measurements. Learning includes power-electronic topologies, circuit-simulation and PCB-design tools as well as lab work and proper measurement procedures.
