Backstepping control of the doubly fed induction generator using Xilinx System Generator for implementation on FPGA

Abstract

This paper presents how to generate the VHDL code of the backstepping control of a doubly fed induction generator required for programming an FPGA without knowledge of VHDL programming. This control strategy will be developed by the Xilinx System Generator (XSG) tool integrated in matlab/simulink environment. The importance of this technique is to enjoy the benefits of Simulink and XSG. The first simulates the proposed control algorithm and the second generates the VHDL code of discrete algorithm that can subsequently be implemented on FPGA.
