Didactic system for digital control of power electronics applications

Abstract

This paper presents the development of an educational system for controlling power electronics systems with digital signal controllers (DSCs). This system is composed of five prototypes for the development of digital controllers. The applications were in the area of power electronics, including power converters and electrical machine drives. The kits were developed to allow verification of the models and validation of the digital controller design of the implemented circuits. The interdisciplinary nature of the educational system is highlighted in this project, where the student comes into contact with various concepts related to different subjects, such as power electronics, analog electronics, control systems, digital control, and digital signal processors.
