“…In every interval of rotor position, the voltage and current readings are recorded using FPGA processor. FPGA is a dominating processor over its competitors such as microprocessors or digital signal processors (DSPs) as it offers numerous benefits such as parallel operation, fast response time, fully customized processor, flexible pin assignment [26], [27]. Later, the recorded values are used to compute flux characterization.…”

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is non-linear in nature due to non-uniform air gap between stator and rotor that is produced from doubly salient poles. To control the operation of non-linear motor, a precise modelling of magnetic characteristic is essential. Traditionally magnetic equivalent circuit, finite element method (FEM) and experimental approaches have been used to derive magnetic characteristics of SRM. These methods involve complex computational steps and numerous assumptions for its calculations. To avoid this complexity, a simple approach is suggested in this paper to compute magnetic characteristics of 4-phase SRM. In this approach, SRM phase inductance is measured directly to identify the location of rotor with respect to stator from unaligned to aligned position. Then, single phase of SRM is excited through asymmetric converter and voltage and currents of corresponding phase is recorded with rotor being blocked using indexing head. Later recorded values are used to compute the magnetic characteristics from unaligned to aligned position. The proposed method is carried out using field programmable gate array (FPGA) controlled 8/6, 4-phase SRM. Further, accuracy of obtained magnetic characteristic is verified using FEM. In addition, fidelity of the magnetic characteristic is also validated by developing a dynamic model of SRM in MATLAB/Simulink

“…At the beginning, they enable component sizing verification; subsequently, they are useful for offline control validation with uP-based simulators [16], where they are very helpful when applying a user-friendly GUI based simulation interface [17]. Other solutions which are increasingly being adopted in the industry are powerful real-time emulation systems based on FPGA, that are widely used both in power converters [18] and electrical drives applications [19,20], and are particularly useful for the study and testing of dangerous situations, such as systems faults [21].…”

A Tool for Evaluating the Performance of SiC-Based Bidirectional Battery Chargers for Automotive Applications

In this paper, a procedure to simulate an electronic power converter for control design and optimization purposes is proposed. For the addressed application, the converter uses SiC-MOSFET technology in bidirectional battery chargers composed of two power stages. The first stage consists of a single-phase AC/DC power factor correction synchronous rectifier. The following stage is a DC/DC dual active bridge. The converter has been modulated using a phase-shift technique which is able to manage bidirectional power flows. The development of a model-based simulation approach is essential to simplify the different design phases. Moreover, it is also important for the final validation of the control algorithm. A suitable tool consisting of a system-level simulation environment has been adopted. The tool is based on a block diagram design method accomplished using the Simulink toolbox in MATLAB™.
