Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of a set of different strategies for the application of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based control for power converters. In particular, the comparison focuses on both the control performance and the complexity of the FPGA implementation. Both nonlinear and linear control strategies are analyzed and compared. Our main goal is to identify the best approach for exploiting FPGA technology in power converter control. Furthermore, our main contribution is to establish solid design guidelines for the use of FPGA-based control in the power electronics field
