“…To assess the performance of the development power management strategy of the SIBC converter, an experimental test rig was constructed in the laboratory, as shown in Figure 13. The experimental test rig was composed of the following components: (1) an autotransformer (input), (2) dSPACE ControlDesk software, (3) a pure water tank from SGWATER (Berlin, Germany), (4) a dSPACE DS1104 board from dSPACE (Bièvres, France), (5) an interface board, (6) an IGBT module stack from Semikron (Nuremberg, Germany) with a three-phase diode rectifier and SIBC, (7) inductive components (i.e., Lp, Ls), (8) capacitive components (i.e., Cp, Cs), (9) a PEM-EL (output) from Heliocentris (Berlin, Germany), (10) an E3N current probe from Chauvin Arnoux (Kehl, Germany), (11) an MTX 1032-B voltage probe from Metrix (Dubuque, IA, USA), and (12) a 4-channel digital oscilloscope from Keysight (Santa Rosa, CA, USA) [30]. The power management strategy for the SIBC was developed in Matlab and Simulink environments, and then implemented into a dSPACE DS1104 board.…”
