FPGA-based Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation for Power Electronics
Overview
Learn how to deploy electrical circuit models to FPGA based real-time systems for Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation. This webinar will use an example of a solar inverter model that is converted into HDL code and both embedded code generation to a TI C2000 implemented on Speedgoat real-time target hardware.
The webinar will include
- Best practices for building Simscape models that will need to run on an FPGA
- Details such as how to partition one part of a plant model onto an FPGA and the other part onto a processor
- Moving from desktop simulation to real-time simulation to perform HIL simulation on FPGAs for power electronics
Highlights
- Generating floating-point HDL code using HDL Coder
- Directly converting Simscape models to HDL code using the Simscape to HDL Advisor
- Deploying HDL code to a Speedgoat real-time target machine
