Abstract

This paper presents the design concepts and applications of a rapid prototyping platform for development and test of switched reluctance drive controls. For traction applications, a powerful and flexible hardware is required for the development of sophisticated switched reluctance drive controls capable of high dynamic performance. This platform is constructed based on a versatile DSP/FPGA digital processing unit. External control functions and interfaces are additionally integrated to fulfill the requirements of traction drives. The feasibility of the platform is demonstrated by two examples presented in this paper.
