چکیده
A new educational power electronics laboratory based on state-of-the-art tools and industrial-grade platforms is presented in this paper. The developed laboratory, which is built based upon prior theoretical knowledge and background of the students in power electronics, combines the sophisticated Texas Instruments (TI)’s hardware tools with MATLAB/Simulink software tools to design, test, and rapidly prototype power-electronic circuits. A detailed description of the tools along with their use in the developed laboratory is presented. Index Terms – Power electronics, digital control, micro-controller, MATLAB/Simulink environment, MATLAB Real Time Workshop, rapid prototyping.

A New Power Management Approach for PV-Wind-Fuel Cell Hybrid System in Hybrid AC-DC Microgrid Configuration
The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...
متن کاملSimultaneous Control of Active and Reactive Powers of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Systems in Flexible Microgrids
This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...

The use of power factor correction (PFC) circuits has been proven to save electrical energy use by up to 25%. When electrical loads are predominantly linear, a simple shunt capacitor will generally be sufficient to improve the power factor. However, as the use of power electronics becomes more prevalent, a more advanced solution using active components is needed. One such active PFC circuit cur...

A large-scale, multi-year, randomized study compared learning activities and outcomes for hands-on, remotely-operated, and simulation-based educational laboratories in an undergraduate engineering course. Students (N 1⁄4 458) worked in small-group lab teams to perform two experiments involving stress on a cantilever beam. Each team conducted the experiments in one of three lab formats (hands-on...
متن کاملA Matlab-Simulink Approach To Shunt Active Power Filters
Due to the wide spread of power electronics equipment in modern electrical systems, the increase of the harmonics disturbance in the ac mains currents has became a major concern due to the adverse effects on all equipment. This paper presents the analysis and simulation using Matlab Simulink of a three-phase four wire neutral clamped active power filter (APF) compensating the harmonics and reac...
