The use of FPGA-based controllers for power electronics and drive applications Abstract: In this lecture, an overview is given of the use of FPGA-based controllers for power electronics and drive applications. The generic architecture of FPGAs is firstly presented along with an overview of the Computer Aid Design (CAD) environment used to define FPGA functionality. The major design rules of a functional design approach are also presented having in mind the targeted application field. Then, the authors analyze, given the current level of technology, the contributions and the limitations of FPGAs for controlling power electronics and drive applications. A classification is derived according to timing constraints (below and above 100kHz). State-of-the-art FPGA-based case studies are presented in order to illustrate the proposed classification. An emphasis is also given to recent System-on-Chip architectures which increase significantly the possibilities of FPGA-based controllers in terms of performances and functionalities. Finally, the author will offer their thoughts on future trends. |
Eric Monmasson (M’96-SM’06) received the Ing. and Ph.D. degrees from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs d’Electrotechnique d’Electronique d’Informatique et d’Hydraulique de Toulouse (ENSEEIHT), Toulouse, France, in 1989 and 1993, respectively. Eric Monmasson is currently a full professor and the head of the Institut Universitaire Professionnalisé de Génie Electrique et d’Informatique Indutrielle (IUP GEII), University of Cergy-Pontoise, Cergy-Pontoise, France. He is also with the Systèmes et Applications des Technologies de l’Information et de l’Energie laboratory (SATIE, UMR CNRS8029). His current research interests include the advanced control of electrical motors and generators and the use of FPGAs for industrial control systems. He was the chair of the technical committee on Electronic Systems-on-Chip of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society from 2008 to 2011. He is the Chair of number one technical committee of the International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS). He is also a member of the steering committee of the European Power Electronics Association. He was the general chair of ELECTRIMACS 2011 Conference. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. He is the author or coauthor of 3 books and more than 125 scientific papers. He also managed several special sections for different scientific journals (EPE Journal, MATCOM Trans. Of IMACS Elsevier and IEEE Trans. on Industrial Electronics and Industrial Informatics).
