Converter (Three-Phase) block, Averaged Switch option, how to feed modulation waveform

5 views (last 30 days)
Converter (Three-Phase) block:
Looking at the help description of this Simscape electrical block, I can read:
  • Averaged Switch — Semiconductor switch with an anti-parallel diode. The control signal port, G, accepts values in the [0,1] interval. When the value at port G is equal to 0 or 1, the averaged switch is either fully opened or fully closed, and it behaves similarly to the Ideal Semiconductor Switch block with an anti-parallel diode. When the value at port G is between 0 and 1, the averaged switch is partly opened. You can then average the PWM signal over a specified period. This allows for undersampling of the model or using modulation waveforms instead of PWM signals.
Is it possible to have an example of an "averaged switch" converter undersampled? Or an example of use of that block feeding modulation waveform instead of PWM signals?
Do I need to average the modulation waveforms? Do you have any idea how to do this?
All the example I can see in the Mathworks website doesn't use this feature, falling into a very long simulation because not benefit the undersampling, an example should be very very usefull.
Thanks

There is an in-product example showing a comparison with differet levels of fidelity: converter with ideal switches, converter with averaged switches and averaged pulses, converter with averaged switches and modulation waveforms, converter with equivalent model option.
