Abstract

This paper presents a novel computer-based tool for real-time simulation and rapid control prototyping of power electronic systems and drives. The tool consists of innovative algorithmic software (ARTEMIS ^TM) for the fixed-time-step simulation of stiff electric circuits, and a real-time laboratory package (RT-LAB^TM) for the execution of a Simulink^TM block diagram and circuits over a cluster of PCs, for fully digital real-time simulation or hardware-in-the-loop applications
