SmartCtrl is a dedicated software tool for designing and optimizing the of power converters (DC–DC, AC–DC, DC–AC, etc.).
Predefined converter topologies (e.g. Buck, Boost, Flyback, full-bridge, PFC) so you can pick a familiar topology as a starting point.
Custom design via an Equation Editor: define the plant, sensor, and compensator transfer functions, in continuous or discrete domains.
Import frequency response data (e.g. from simulations or measurement) to model the plant, then design the controller around that.
Digital control considerations: sample delays, quantization, discrete domain design.
Stability / robustness analysis: parametric sweeps, sensitivity analysis, solution maps (phase margin vs. crossover frequency) to explore stable design regions.
Export capabilities: you can export designed control functions, waveforms, etc., to simulation tools (e.g. PSIM) for verification.
So essentially it is a control-design / analysis tool tailored for power electronics (rather than a general control systems tool).
Version has dedicated documentation and user guides.
Some features and additions emphasized:
: There are templates specific to PSIM for v2024.1 (e.g. Three-Phase PFC Boost Converter PSIM templates).
An and specific to the v2024.1 version.
“What’s New” section in their resources indicates incremental updates (bug fixes, enhancements).
They haven’t published a full “version changelog” in the public summary, but the improvements are partly around user support, workflow integration, and updated models/templates.
