Rapid prototyping of digital controllers for electric drives investigations and implementations

Abstract

During the last twenty years the control of industrial electrical newlinesystems has been the focus of important research and many significant newlineimprovements have been achieved These developments are mainly due to the newlinerevolution in the technology leading to very powerful components that allow newlineimplementing more and more complex control algorithms With successively newlineimproving reliability and performance of digital technologies digital control newlinetechniques have excelled over their analog counterparts Indeed compared newlinewith traditional analog control digital control offers many advantages such as newlineflexibility to modify the control schemes adaptability to different systems and newlineoperating conditions immunity to noise and insensitivity to component newlinevariations Nowadays digital control techniques are mostly carried out with newlinemicrocontrollers or digital signal processors due to their software flexibility newlineand low cost newline newline
