LTspicePowerSim is a Simulink-like power electronics simulation environment built on LTspice. It provides a library of ready-to-use circuit designs and custom tools, making power electronics simulation easier and more accessible for engineers and researchers.
- Optimized Models for Convergence: Includes circuit models specifically designed to enhance simulation convergence.
- Transparent Model Definitions: All models are defined using LTspice schematic files (.asc), allowing users to view and edit the circuits directly as needed.
- Extensive Example Circuits: From basic converters such as Buck and Boost to advanced circuits like resonant converters and PFC (Power Factor Correction), the repository includes a wide range of example circuits.
To use LTspicePowerSim, you need to have the following installed:
- LTspice – A high-performance SPICE simulation software.
- Windows or macOS – The steps below cover installation for both operating systems.
-
Copy the contents of the
sym\PowerSimfolder from this repository to:C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\LTspice\lib\sym\PowerSim -
Replace
<username>with your username. -
Or you can use following batch files in
batfolders.File Name Description install.batCopies the model files into the LTspice folder. clean.batRemoves all copied files from the LTspice folder. open_install_folder.batOpens the LTspice directory where the files are installed.
- Copy the contents of the
sym\PowerSimfolder from this repository to:/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/LTspice/lib/ - Replace
<username>with your username.
- Simulation Convergence: In most cases, the simulation will work smoothly with the Normal Solver. However, if the simulation fails to converge, try switching to the Alternate Solver.
You can change the solver settings by navigating to Tools > Settings, then selecting the SPICE > Engine > Solver section in the control panel.
