OwnModels

OwnModels gathers OwnTech simulation models for two toolchains:

• plecs/ for PLECS-based models and reusable library blocks
• simscape/ for MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape-based models

Repository layout

plecs/

This folder contains the current PLECS assets in the repository:

• plecs/owntech-lib/Owntech_lib.plecs: reusable OwnTech PLECS library
• plecs/Open loop/Twist_open_loop.plecs: open-loop switched example
• plecs/Voltage Mode Buck/Twist_voltage_mode_buck.plecs: closed-loop switched buck model
• plecs/Voltage Mode Buck/Twist_voltage_mode_buck_AVG.plecs: averaged closed-loop buck model
• plecs/docs/: PLECS setup and example documentation, with screenshots and license file

Folder-level notes are available in:

• plecs/owntech-lib/README.md
• plecs/Open loop/README.md
• plecs/Voltage Mode Buck/README.md

simscape/

This folder contains the current Simscape model and its supporting data:

• simscape/owntech_model_simscape.slx: Simulink/Simscape buck-converter model
• simscape/script_owntech_model.m: main MATLAB entry point used to configure and run simulations
• simscape/twist_parameters.m: electrical and control parameters used by the model
• simscape/feeder_current.mat: feeder-current dataset loaded by the parameter script
• simscape/README.md: local usage notes for the Simscape model

Documentation

The repository documentation is now stored under plecs/docs/ and currently focuses on the PLECS workflow:

• plecs/docs/getting_started.md: install PLECS and register the OwnTech library
• plecs/docs/first_example.md: run the open-loop PLECS example
• plecs/docs/voltage_mode_simulation.md: run the closed-loop switched and averaged voltage-mode buck examples

Supporting screenshots for these guides are stored in plecs/docs/Images/.

Quick start

PLECS

1. Install PLECS Standalone.
2. Add plecs/owntech-lib/ to the PLECS library/search path and load Owntech_lib.plecs.
3. Use the setup and walkthrough guides in plecs/docs/.
4. Open one of the example models from plecs/Open loop/ or plecs/Voltage Mode Buck/.

Simscape

1. Open MATLAB with Simulink and Simscape available.
2. Run simscape/script_owntech_model.m.
3. Adjust the user configuration in script_owntech_model.m and the model constants in twist_parameters.m as needed.
