“…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.…”

A Latency-Insensitive Design Approach to Programmable FPGA-Based Real-Time Simulators

This paper presents a methodology for the design of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based real-time simulators (RTSs) for power electronic circuits (PECs). The programmability of the simulator results from the use of an efficient and scalable overlay architecture (OA). The proposed OA relies on a latency-insensitive design (LID) paradigm. LID consists of connecting small processing units that automatically synchronize and exchange data when appropriate. The use of such data-driven architecture aims to ease the design process while achieving a higher computational efficiency. The benefits of the proposed approach is evaluated by assessing the performance of the proposed solver in the simulation of a two-stage AC–AC power converter. The minimum achievable time-step and FPGA resource consumption for a wide range of power converter sizes is also evaluated. The proposed overlays are parametrizable in size, they are cost-effective, they provide sub-microsecond time-steps, and they offer a high computational performance with a reported peak performance of 300 GFLOPS.
