Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Real-Time Control Platform for Power Electronics Applications

Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Real-Time Control Platform for Power Electronics Applications

In recent years, different off-the-shelf solutions for the rapid control prototyping of power electronics converters have been commercialised. The main benefits of those systems are based on a fast and easy-to-use environment due to high-level programming. However, most of those systems are very exp...
