FPGA hardware in the loop validation of direct torque control for induction motor

In last years the hardware in the loop (HIL) feature, that is offered by FPGA devices through the Xilinx System Generator (XSG) and Matlab-Simulink has presented a helpful way to test and validate control diagrams. The present paper exploits this feature to implement the Direct Torque Control (DTC) for induction motor. The SPARTAN-3E FPGA device is used for the hardware validation.
