Simulação em tempo real da máquina síncrona a imã permanente implementada em dispositivos lógicos programáveis (FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Array).

Abstract

The functionality of a controller of a machine needs to be tested and verified prior to installation and commissioning. Real-time simulators are practically the only safe options to perform closed-loop tests and verify its functionality and performance. In addition to substantially reduce the total execution time of the study . The use of FPGA devices for real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop in the design and testing of controllers and machines come currently growing. These devices have a lower cost of deployment compared to the traditional form of simulation, using software with processors operating in parallel. The versatility of the reconfiguration of FPGA circuits and the increasing expansion in capacity to allow you to configure hardware increasingly complex mathematical models. This paper presents a simulation platform for real-time interface with hardware-in-the-loop for electrical machines, with the focus on the permanent magnet synchronous machines. The platform comprises an FPGA device that simulates real time, a power converter and a synchronous machine with permanent magnet which, through its interface hardware-in-the-loop allows the use of real controllers acting in the simulation. The results obtained by the platform are compared with actual machines and with simulations of the original models implemented in software.
