Description
Summary:Nowadays, the emission of pollutant particles is a global problem in terms of limiting pollution in industries, as well as greenhouse gases emissions. There are different ways to filter undesired particles, such as carbon air filters, chemical washing, and so on. One of the most popular techniques is the use of electrostatic precipitators: The operation mode is based in attracting particles using electrostatic forces. In order to do that, it is necessary to use a high-voltage converter, with a relative complex control. This article deals with the design of a complete platform to control not only these kind of converters, but also those converters based on the full-bridge power topology.
