Arquitetura híbrida com DSP e FPGA para implementação de controladores de filtros ativos de potência

The presence of non-linear loads at a point in the distribution system may deform voltage waveform due to the consumption of non-sinusoidal currents. The use of active power filters allows significant reduction of the harmonic content in the supply current. However, the processing of digital control structures for these filters may require high performance hardware, particularly for reference currents calculation. This work describes the development of hardware structures with high processing capability for application in active power filters. In this sense, it considers an architecture that allows parallel processing using programmable logic devices. The developed structure uses a hybrid model using a DSP and an FPGA. The DSP is used for the acquisition of current and voltage signals, calculation of fundamental current related controllers and PWM generation. The FPGA is used for intensive signal processing, such as the harmonic compensators. In this way, from the experimental analysis, significant reductions of the processing time are achieved when compared to traditional approaches using only DSP. The experimental results validate the designed structure and these results are compared with other ones from architectures reported in the literature.

Implementação em FPGA de compensadores de desvios para conversor analógico digital intercalado

This work presents the modeling and FPGA implementation of digital TIADC mismatches compensation systems. The development of the whole work follows a top-down methodology. Following this methodology was developed a two channel TIADC behavior modeling and their respective offset, gain and clock skew mismatches on Simulink. In addition was developed digital mismatch compensation system behavior modeling. For clock skew mismatch compensation fractional delay filters were used, more specifically, the efficient Farrow struct. The definition of wich filter design methodology would be used, and wich Farrow structure, required the study of various design methods presented in literature. The digital compensation systems models were converted to VHDL, for FPGA implementation and validation. These system validation was carried out using the test methodology FPGA In Loop . The results obtained with TIADC mismatch compensators show the high performance gain provided by these structures. Beyond this result, these work illustrates the potential of design, implementation and FPGA test methodologies.
