.PVSystems.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_0_6_2

Information

Modifications:

• The main new feature of this release is the slight restructuring of switch network models that now have switching, as well as averaged, variants. This provides generic converter blocks that can be changed from switched to averaged with the click of a mouse.
• The SignalPWM block is renamed to SwitchingPWM and its icon is changed.
• Documentation for examples is updated and completed. The names of components used in some of the examples are changed.
• The Validation package is renamed to Verification. This name change has also been applied to models inside this package and associated files like results plots.
• MPPTController is taken out of Control.Assemblies and placed directly in the Control package.
• Instances of switch networks are made replaceable to allow the use of different flavours of converters and circuits (switched and averaged).
• HBridgeAveraged is renamed to HBridge since it can now be instantiated with switched or averaged models.
• The averaged models (CCM1, CCM2…) include the port current equations that were previously part of the TwoPortConverter interface, since they now inherit from TwoPort, which doesn't include those equations.

Additions:

• Three variants of switched switch network models, SW1 (switch and diode), SW2 (2 switches) and SW3 (2 switches + antiparallel diode).
• The script callCheckLibrary.mos has been added to provide a convenient way to run regression tests. To provide even more convenience, a __{DymolaCommands} annotation has been added to the root package file so that this script can be run from the Commands menu when using Dymola. The reference regression tests should be updated in each release if necessary.
• Added a script to export listings for publishing.
• TwoPort interface and ConverterIcon added in place of TwoPortConverter.

Deletions:

• TwoPortConverter interface is removed and substituted by a TwoPort interface (copied from MSL without current equations) and a ConverterIcon.
