An overview of FPGA based control paradigm for micro grid applications

Abstract

This paper summarizes the control of power in discrete areas of power generation with the application of programmable array of logic devices linked by configurable interconnections in a single circuitry called as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The paper throws light on the fundamentals of FPGA architecture, design structure and programming techniques. In the later segment, power conditioning methods using existing and advance FPGA tools for PV power generation, wind power generation and the integrated grid system designs are discussed.
