“…We describe in this section the design, implementation, and experimental validation of a real-time hardware-in-the-loop emulation of a dual PMSM. The PMSM machine are modelled using a flexible piecewise linear state space approach [20]; and are simulated in hard real-time with 10 ns time step, which enables highfidelity modelling of PMSM dynamics. We validate the real-time PMSM drive emulator by making real-time comparisons with a reference hardware model of a PMSM drive.…”

<p>This paper presents a real-time emulator of a dual permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board for supervision and observation purposes. In order to increase the reliability of the drive, a sensorless speed control method is proposed. This method allows replacing the physical sensor while guaranteeing a satisfactory operation even in faulty conditions. The novelty of the proposed approach consists of an FPGA implementation of an emulator to control the actual system. Hence, this emulator operates in real-time with actual system control in healthy or faulty mode. It gives an observation of the speed rotation in case of fault for the sake of continuity of service. The observation of the rotor position and the speed are achieved using the dSPACE DS52030D digital platform with a digital signal processor (DSP) associated with a Xilinx FPGA.</p>

“…As compared to power systems, in which a 50 μs time-step is adequate for the emulation of electrical substation components, a precise and consistent power electronic system simulation with a PWM control approach must be under 1 μs [11]. FPGA-based emulation solves this problem by permitting very low time-steps to be reached [12]. Now-a-days, power converters and their control strategy are developing towards complexity in execution time because of high switching frequencies in the 10 − 200 kHz range [13].…”

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.

For rapid prototyping of power electronics circuits and motor drivesW ith the rising complexity in digital control algorithms for power electronics (PE) systems, prototype design and software control testing procedures have become increasingly time-consuming and costly. To minimize time to market and improve software quality assurance, this article presents a lowcost, safe, and reliable processor-in-the-loop (PIL) concept for rapid prototyping. PIL provides a framework to verify the actual control algorithm on a dedicated microcontroller that controls plant simulation in the software environment (SE). The corresponding communication approaches, constituting blocks and preliminary results, are presented in detail. The accuracy and fidelity of the PIL platform is validated through software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations. It is shown that PIL leverages the embedded code generation features of the SE, which enables controller design and testing through minimal modifications to generated code and eliminates the need for real hardware during development, therefore removing safety concerns and any risks of damaging the expensive hardware. The presented approach also helps identify coding errors, casting errors, and platform-specific configuration errors even before the actual test setup is functional. Reasons for a New PIL PlatformPE systems have recently undergone a fast evolution enabled by high-performance embedded systems and computational technologies. The demand for digital control algorithms managing the electronic component operations and the overall system has been rising, and the systems have been increasing in complexity with faster 18 IEEE PowEr ELECtronICs MAgAzInE z FIG 1 The basic PIL system.
