PLECS Workshop

PLECS is an essential tool for power electronics engineers, helping in simulating easily power elements. PEIC uses PLECS not only for research activities, but also for educational purposes. We are also RT Box users, a powerful tool for Hardware-in-the-loop simulations.

This workshop will help us bringing our knowledge further.

The event will take place Wednesday 11th July, starting at 8:30 am in Laboratorio Tommasini.
