A rapid prototyping scenario for power factor control in permanent magnet synchronous motor drives: Control solutions for interleaved boost converters

Rapid prototyping of control is one of the most important technologies for designers and researchers to shorten design and testing of control algorithms. This article presents power electronics opportunities provided by PSIM software and a high performance digital signal processing. The field of application examined is motor control and switching mode power supplies. In particular, more emphasis to the theoretical treatment of linear and non-linear power factor controllers has been given, and the performances of examined algorithms in both the simulated and real world have been verified. Finally, good matching between the results of these two configurations has been documented.
