FPGA Controller Based Z-Source Inverter for Wind Turbine Driven Permanent Magnet Generator

FPGA Implementation of Digital Controller for Simple and Maximum Boost Control of Three Phase Z-Source Inverter

“…Emp loying FPGA to realize PWM strategies provides advantages such as rapid prototyping, simp le hardware and software design, higher switching frequency, and relieving the computation load of microprocessors. In recent years, motor control emp loying FPGA technology is receiving increased attention [22] - [30], for examp le in [24] used FPGA for implementation of the simplified SVPWM algorithm for three-phase voltage source inverter. In [25] used FPGA for mult ilevel mu ltiphase Space Vector PWM algorith m. In [26] FPGA based mult ilevel pulse width modulation single phase inverter is implemented.…”

“…In [28] imp lemented a simple realization of 5-segment discontinuous SVPWM based on FPGA and also on [29] an FPGA based digital space vector controller of voltage source inverter is implemented. But for ZSI only [30] p resents a VHDL simu lation of controller fo r ZSI suitable for Wind Energy Conversion System (W ECS). The controller is designed and VHDL simulat ion carried out for traditional pulse width modulation as well as for the modified pulse width modulation employed with Z-Source Inverter.…”
