An HIL-Based Reconfigurable Platform for Design, Implementation, and Verification of Electrical System Digital Controllers

摘要

This paper presents a top-down design flow for design, implementation, and verification of digital controllers associated with electrical systems. In the proposed design flow, the functional description of the studied system and the detailed electronic hardware design and validation of the digital controller are performed using a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)-based reconfigurable platform in a unique design environment. The way of using this design flow and the reconfigurable HIL platform is analyzed through a fault-tolerant shunt active power filter application. The experimental results obtained with a laboratory prototype fault-tolerant active filter demonstrate the performances and the efficiency of the proposed design flow and HIL-based reconfigurable platform.
