Advanced research and development facility for digital control of power electronic based drives

Abstract

© 2018 IEEE. The modern era of technology requires shortened time from idea to the implementation of control strategies for electrical drives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop multifunctional solutions suitable for control engineering based on rapid control prototyping principle. Modular test station for research and development of digital control algorithms of electrical drives and power converters has been developed at the Faculty of Technical Sciences. The station is primarily intended for use by MSc and PhD students in order to improve their learning outcomes and provide experiences in control engineering. After detailed description of station's hardware and software, in this paper, results of two experiments are presented in order to demonstrate capabilities of developed stations.
