Investigation on Various Voltage Controllers for 3 Phase Rectifier Using Arduino as a Low Cost Microcontroller

Abstract

This paper focuses on investigation of various voltage controllers which are the Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) control and P-Resonant control in order to observe the efficiency of the low cost microcontroller such as Arduino for the gating signals generation. Both of the controllers have been selected due to the availabality of the block diagrams that can be build in the MATLAB. The MATLAB-Simulink block will be used as the interface between the design controller to the Arduino board before downloaded into Arduino. The results show, the Arduino is able to operate from various controllers but it gives better result when the P-Resonant controller has been used.

Application of Robust Control on Arduino Microcontroller Testing in Power Electronics Converters

“…This microcontroller has a language that suitable for the programmer to communicate to the board. Here, Arduino microcontroller has been selected due to faster communication establish [6,7] between the MATLAB software Ver 2013.a and the board. It is because the MATLAB has create a library to be used with the Arduino In this paper, two types of controller have been designed which are P-Resonant and Fuzzy-PI controller and be applied with the Arduino.…”
