A rapid prototyping scenario for PFC in PMSM drives: control solutions for interleaved boost converters

Rapid prototyping of control is one of the most impor-tant 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 mo-tor 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. Fi-nally, good matching between the results of these two configurations has been documented.
