Modelling, simulation and design of a power drive controller using dSPACE Hardware-in-the-Loop environment.

The creation, development, simulation and the real-time implementation of real physical system has destinations in many different fields and has led a success of techniques such as hardware-in-the-loop. In the relation, the control of the electric machines is addressed in the simulative and practical part, so in the software and hardware aspect. These controls are initially focused on a direct current motor and subsequently on a brushless motor. This approach is given by the simplicity of the mathematical model of the direct current motor and also the development of the controls is faced with increasing difficulty. The objectives are reached step by step, in a logical chain that starts from the theory to the physical system. • Study and modelling of electrical motors. • Study, modelling and design of different control strategies. • Simulations of electric drives and Real-Time-Interface, hardware implementation. Specifically, the real work of the thesis can be summarize in the following points: • Model-in-the-loop. • Software-in-the-loop. • Processor-in-the-loop. • Hardware-in-the-loop
