In a power system, an out-of-step condition causes a variety of risk such as serious damage to system elements, tripping of loads and generators, mal-operation of relays, etc. Therefore, it is very important to detect the out-of- step condition and take a proper measure. This paper presents a study on implementation of out-of-step detection algorithm using VHDL(Very high speed Hardware Description Language). The structure of out-of-step detection algorithm is analyzed for development of out-of-step detection relay on the FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). The out-of-step algorithm is separated to 4 parts: DFT IP, complex power calculation IP, out-of-step detection IP, control unit. Each parts are developed and simulated by using VHDL.

본 논문에서는 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) 기반의 전류 제어기를 설계하고 구현하였다. 기존의 DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 기반의 전류 제어기는 알고리즘 연산으로 인해 일반적으로 한 샘플링의 디지털 시지연이 발생한다. 반면에, FPGA 기반의 전류제어기는 FPGA의 높은 연산 능력을 이용하여, 알고리즘 연산에 필요한 시간을 감소시킬 수 있다. 이는 시지연이 물리적으로 줄기 때문에, 어떠한 시지연 보상 알고리즘 없이 전류 제어기의 대역폭을 향상시킬 수 있다. 구현된 FPGA 기반의 전류 제어기의 성능은 실험을 통해 검증되었다.

기존 Digital Signal Processor (DSP)를 사용하여 높은 동작 주파수의 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 구동하는 경우 낮은 동작 주파수 분해능과 계산 속도에 의해 출력 전압 제어성능과 동특성에 한계가 생긴다. 이를 해결하기 위해 기존의 분해능 및 계산 속도 부족에 의한 영향을 분석하고 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)를 설계하여 높은 동작 주파수 분해능 및 동특성을 얻고자 제안한다. FPGA를 이용한 성능향상을 DSP (TI - TMS 38335)와 FPGA (Xilinx XC7A100T)를 사용하여 비교 분석하고자 한다.

A FPGA based delta modulated single phase matrix converter has been developed that may be used in both cyclo-converters and cyclo-inverters. This converter is ideal for variable speed electrical drives, induction heating, fluorescent lighting, ballasts and high frequency power supplies. The peripheral input-output and FPGA interfacing have been developed through Xilinx 9.2i, to generate delta modulated trigger pulses for the converter. The controller has been relieved of the time consuming computational task of PWM signal generation by implementing the method of trigger pulse generation in a FPGA by using Hardware Description Language VHDL in Xilinx. The trigger circuit has been tested qualitatively by observing various waveforms on an oscilloscope. The operation of the proposed system has been found to be satisfactory.

This paper presents an effective robust predictive control scheme for the active power filter (APF) using a smith-predictor based current regulator, which show superior features when compared to proportional-integral (PI) controllers in terms of an enhanced closed-loop bandwidth and an improved current tracking accuracy. A moving average filter (MAF) is implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for signal pre-processing to eliminate the switching ripple contamination. An adaptive linear neural network (ADALINE) is used for individual harmonic estimation to achieve selective compensation purpose. The effectiveness and validity of the devised control algorithm are confirmed by extensive simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a simple approach for the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) of multilevel inverter based on the transistor-clamped H-bridge (TCHB) family. The SHE modulation is derived from the sinusoidal voltage-angle equal criteria corresponding to the optimized switching angles. The switching angles are computed offline by solving transcendental non-linear equations characterizing the harmonic contents using the Newton-Raphson method to produce an optimum stepped output. Simulation and experimental tests are conducted for verification of the analytical solutions. An Altera DE2 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board is used as the digital controller device in order to verify the proposed SHE modulation in real-time applications. An analysis of the voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) has been obtained for multiple output voltage cases. In terms of the THD, the results showed that the higher the number of output levels, the lower the THD due to an increase number of harmonic orders being eliminated.

Recently, the small scale photovoltaic (PV) electronic devices are drawing attention as the upcoming PV generation system. The PV system is commonly used in small scale PV applications such as LED lighting and cell phone. This paper proposes photovoltaic output sensorless (POS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a small scale charging system of PV-nickel metal hydride battery using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller. A converter is connected to a small scale PV cell and battery, and performs the POS MPPT at the battery terminal current instead of being at the PV cell output voltage and current. The FPGA controller and converter operate based on POS MPPT method. The experimental results show that the nickel metal hydride battery is charged by the maximum PV output power.

원전 디지털 계측제어시스템에서 공통원인고장(Common cause failure)의 발생 가능성이 증가함에 따라 이를 방지하기 위해 프로그래머블 논리소자(Field Programmable Gate Array)를 이용한 제어기가 개발되어 활용되고 있다. 그러나, FPGA-기반의 제어기를 구현하는데 사용되는 하드웨어 기술 언어는 그래픽 언어를 이용한 PLC 기반의 개발을 하던 대부분의 원전 계측제어 엔지니어에게 친숙하지 않아 제어기의 구현에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 엔지니어에게 친숙한 그래픽 언어를 이용하여 FPGA 용 제어 프로그램을 작성할 수 있는 통합개발환경이 필요하다. 본 논문에서 구현한 VerilogLinker 는 제어프로그램의 개발을 위한 통합개발환경의 일부로 통합개발환경을 이용한 제어 프로그램의 개발과정 중에서 생성된 Verilog 파일을 FPGA 공급자가 제공하는 상용 소프트웨어인 Libero SoC 와 연결하는 기능을 제공한다.
