Cyber physical systems: A new approach to power electronics simulation, control and testing

Abstract

This paper presents a Cyber Physical Systems approach to power electronics simulation, control and testing. We present a new framework based on generalized hybrid automaton and application specific ultra-low latency highspeed processor architecture that enables high fidelity realtime power electronics model computation. To illustrate the performance of this approach we experimentally demonstrate two extremely computationally demanding power electronics applications: real-time emulation for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, and hybrid system observers for fault detection and isolation.
