Simulation of Active Power Filter with prediction control in MATLAB and OrCAD environments with using SLPS interface

The newest versions of Cadence's OrCAD packet are equipped with the SLPS interface (SimuLinkPSpice). It allows to carry out simulation of hardware part of tested system in Capture-PSpice simulator and simultaneous simulation of software part of the system in Mathworks' MATLAB-Simulink environment. In the paper use of SLPS interface for modeling Active Power Filter (APF) with prediction control is presented. In OrCAD Capture-PSpice complete 3-phase electric power system including source, nonlinear load and hardware part of APF (especially voltage inverter composed of IGBT transistors) was modelled. In MATLAB-Simulink control system of APF was implemented.
