teps to Model a Flyback Converter in Simulink
  1. Open SimulinkStart MATLAB and open Simulink. Create a new model (File > New > Model).
  2. Add Simscape Electrical ComponentsYou need to use blocks from:
  • Simscape > Electrical > Specialized Power Systems
  • Simscape > Foundation > Electrical > Electrical Elements
  1. Basic Components:
  • DC Voltage Source (Simscape > Electrical Sources)
  • MOSFET (Simscape > Electrical > Semiconductors)
  • Transformer (use Coupled Inductor block)
  • Diode
  • Capacitor
  • Resistive Load
  • Pulse Generator (for gate control)
  1. Transformer Modeling:Use the Coupled Inductor block to represent the flyback transformer. Set proper inductance and coupling coefficient values.
  2. Gate Signal:Use a Pulse Generator to control the MOSFET. Set frequency and duty cycle appropriately (e.g., 50 kHz, 50% duty).
  3. Snubber/Protection:Add a snubber circuit across the MOSFET or diode if needed to handle switching transients.
  4. Output Voltage Measurement:Add a Voltage Measurement block and scope to observe output.
🛠️ Example Parameter Values
  • Input Voltage: 48 V DC
  • Switching Frequency: 50 kHz
  • Transformer Turns Ratio: 1:2
  • Load Resistance: 10 Ω
  • Output Capacitor: 470 µF
