Abstract

As power electronics converters become more flexible and their control becomes more sophisticated, it is becoming more important for young engineers to learn to use modern digital control tools, such as FPGAs. This paper presents a flexible, inexpensive laboratory setup that can be configured for exploring a number of power converter topologies, controlled in both open loop and closed loop. In addition to driving passive loads, the setup can be used to demonstrate DC motor torque, speed, and position control, as well as variable speed 3-phase AC motor control.
