Reconfigurable Power Quality Analyzer Applied to Hardware-in-Loop Test Bench

Reconfigurable Hardware - in - the - loop Simulator

The key innovation of the described Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator is the use of flexible and software reconfigurable signal-conditioning to establish connectivity between the HIL simulator and the prototype Electronic Controller Units (ECUs) in the Electronic Body System (EBS) of a vehicle. In the automotive industry, the electrical architecture of the car evolves through many developmen...

Active Roll Control (ARC): System Design and Hardware-In- the-Loop Test Bench

The first part of the paper describes the targets related to the design of an Active Roll Control (ARC) system, based on the hydraulic actuation of the anti-roll bars of an automobile. Then the basic static and dynamic design principles of the system are commented in detail. The second part of the paper presents the Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) test bench implemented to evaluate the designed syst...

Power Hardware in the Loop Simulation

Reconfigurable Logic Applied for Designing Adaptive Hardware Systems

Reconfigurable computing has grown to become an important and large field of research. It is based on using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, this technology is introduced and it is shown how it can be applied for adaptive system design. There is a large range of real-world applications for such systems, including network infrastructure.

Loop Transformations for the Optimized Generation of Reconfigurable Hardware

Current high-level design environments offer little support to implement data-intensive applications on heterogeneous-memory systems; they rather focus on parallelism. This thesis addresses the memory hierarchy problem to high-level transformations of loop structures and the integration of these transformations in the hardware design flow. This work focuses on three aspects: (1) the composition...
