Model Predictive Control of Buck Converter Using Easy FPGA Implementation
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Model predictive control of a DC-DC buck converter is implemented in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and tested using a Hardware-in-the-Loop system. A step-by-step description is presented in this paper, showing the process of first developing the complete model of converter and control in MATLAB/Simulink then, converting the control into a Hardware Description Language (HDL) program, including the specifications of the FPGA target board used. Programming the FPGA includes the analog-to-digital converter and the constraints of the FPGA chip. Finally, the system is tested using a Typhoon HIL platform.
