“…For these reasons, COTS platforms did not have sufficient resolution for the tripping and coordination being assessed. LB-LMC RT simulation method can achieve 50 ns time steps on Xilinx 7-series FPGA [7], [40]. For these cases described above, this would have provided enough resolution.…”

“…For the more technical description and analysis of the LB-LMC method by the creator of the method, please see [7] [52], which contains details of the method not presented here, such as stability analysis, computational considerations, and further comparison to traditional simulation methods.The LB-LMC method is a numerical integration approach for solving transient, linear and non-linear systems such as for power electronics and multi-physics system. This method has been implemented on Xilinx 7 series FPGAs to achieve time steps in the mid-tens of ns range, such as 50 ns as in[7,8,40,53]. It is possible to achieve lower time steps using the latest UltraScale or UltraScale+ FPGAs.…”

“…More over, LabVIEW FPGA is able take the .vi, and after compilation, download the compiled code straight the FPGA without the user needing to integrate the compiled code into a top-level design, etc.There is always a trade-off between platform cost, engineering time, and performance. NI platforms generally cost more than FPGA development boards, such as Xilinx VC707 evaluation boards used in[40],[7], but NI platforms generally require much less intimate knowledge FPGAs to be productive. For reference, the author has taken one formal FPGA class at UW-Milwaukee.…”

In order to evaluate and validate the latest trends of power-hardware-in-loop (PHIL) test setup, the dc-dc buck converter is modelled within a real-time system where the simulation model of the converter is exported to FPGA NI PXIe with a time step of 250 ns. PHIL setup allows high flexibility, the benefit of graphical programming, and advanced investigation of the control system for a converter without any safety concern and with the possibility of testing against situations that rarely occur in the field. The LabVIEW-FPGA has been used as a prototyping environment for a digital controller with the help of OPAL-RT eHS software and NI hardware. Such collaboration enables other software such as MATLAB/Simulink, Multisim, PLECS, PSIM, and LabVIEW Co-simulation for accelerating innovative research and development. This research work presents a more efficient and effectual NI PXIE platform with at least ten times more FPGA capability. This paper highlights the hardware-software toolset's performance and the proposed methodology by addressing regulation issues in dc-dc converters. For more satisfactory and reliable operation real-time simulation study of a dc-dc buck converter is evaluated at different parametric variations under the closed-loop PI controller. Finally, the executed model's effectiveness for a closed loop buck converter with real DC loads is validated through the hardware-in-loop (HIL) laboratory setup.
