Hardware Implementation of FTC of Induction Machine on FPGA
Journal Title: Elektronika - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, a new design method of Direct Torque Control using Space Vector Modulation (DTC-SVM) of an Induction Machine (IM), which is based on Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) is proposed. Due to its complexity, the FTC implemented on a microcontroller and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is characterized by a calculating delay. To solve this problem, an alternative digital solution is used, based on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which is characterized by a fast processing speed. However, as an FPGAs increase in size, there is a need for improved productivity, and this includes new design flows and tools. Xilinx System Generator (XSG) is a high-level block-based design tool that offers bit and cycle accurate simulation. This tool can automatically generate the Very High-Density Logic (VHDL) code without resorting to a tough programming, without being obliged to do approximations and more we can visualize the behavior of the machine before implementation which is very important for not damage our machine. Simulation and experimental results using Hardware In the Loop (HIL) of the FTC based DTC-SVM is compared with those of the conventional DTC. The comparison results illustrate the reduction in the torque and stator flux ripples. Our purpose is to reveal our algorithm efficiency and to show the Xilinx Virtex V FPGA performances in terms of execution time.
