Abstract

This paper presents rapid control prototyping of voltage source inverter (VSI). Control techniques for power converters are developing day by day. However, it is not practical to implement a controller in hardware to test its performance in real time. It is possible to implement the designed controller with real time simulator and then test it with the actual power converter circuit. Such a simulation is known as rapid control prototyping (RCP). In this paper, a three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) is designed and implemented in hardware and the control technique for the VSI is implemented using a real time simulator and then interfaced with the hardware model of the VSI. The main aim of this paper is to implement rapid control prototyping for verifying the performance of the controller designed for the specific power electronic circuit.
