This paper presents a Cyber Physical Systems approach to power electronics simulation, control and testing. We present a new framework based on generalized hybrid automaton and application specific ultra-low latency high-speed processor architecture that enables high fidelity real-time power electronics model computation. To illustrate the performance of this approach we experimentally demonstrate two extremely computationally demanding power electronics applications: real-time emulation for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, and hybrid system observers for fault detection and isolation.
