A Flexible Control Systems Development and Integration Environment for Distributed Ship Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rapid advances have been made in Commercial Off-The-Shelf Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), PC-based boards and embedded intelligence in localised smart controllers, smart sensors and smart actuators. Great opportunities exist to produce high performance, dependable distributed systems, however, the key element that is missing is software tool support for systems integration. Many proprietary tools exist for programming specific manufacturers products, however, code cannot be reused on another manufacturers equipment. This is currently the major inhibiting factor to the uptake of Open Distributed Systems. In this paper an overview of the European Union funded Flexible Control Systems Development and Integration Environment for Control Systems (FLEXICON) project IST-2001-37269 is given. The aim of this project is to provide an integrated suite of tools to support all the development life-cycle phases: simulation/modelling, development and implementation.

Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...
