Abstract
Power electronic apparatus and their digital control systems are finding increasing applications in electric power systems at generation, transmission, distribution and utilization levels. It is essential to carry out rigorous performance evaluation of such apparatus prior to installation and commissioning. Closed-loop testing of a physical device, in a real-time simulator environment is practically the only option to safely and thoroughly verify the design integrity and evaluate its functionality and performance.
An important application of a DC-DC boost converter is to step up a fluctuating solar panel voltage to a higher DC voltage. Also, it is able to be directly coupled with grid-tied inverter for grid connected photovoltaic system. The real-time simulation of boost converter circuit is challenging for several reasons. A PC-based simulation can hardly achieve time-steps below 5-10 μs, this yields a limit on the maximal power electronic switching frequencies that can be accurately simulated using standard methods.
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an attractive platform for accelerating computationally intensive applications.
This thesis presents simulation methodology based on Electro-Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP) theory that can be used for the hardware implementation of high-performance FPGA-based aimed for the real-time simulation of power electronic systems. The power electronic circuits are modeled using the associated discrete circuit technique.
