Abstract:
For multicore processors with current loads exceeding 100 A, the power noise is not only a growing electromagnetic interference (EMI) concern, but also a potential logic problem in high-speed printed circuit designs. Depending on the type of application, on-board or on-package local decoupling capacitors are the most commonly used components to mitigate this problem. The board/package real-estate concerns, however, impede the haphazard placement of these components and makes imperative the use of optimization methods for their most effective placement and selection. The computation of power noise in high-speed designs lies at the core of all optimization techniques. For decades, the computation methods that rely on lumped circuit theory have been very popular as quick and dirty analysis tools. At today's circuit speeds, however, they are too simplistic for accurate results. Numerical electromagnetic analysis tools are arguably the reliable alternatives but they are computationally too intensive for repetitive analysis. Semi-analytic algorithms based on planar circuit theory will be discussed as a balance between these two extreme cases. Accuracy and performance comparison with state-of-the art tools will be provided. The practical implications of these methods will be discussed with application to real-life scenarios.

FPGA-based Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing for Smart Grid and Electric Motor Drive Applications

Speaker: Sébastien Cense and François Berthelot, OPAL-RT Technologies
Date: Thursday, April 26th, 2018
Time : Refreshments, Registration and Networking: 18:00; Seminar: 18:30 – 20:00.
Location: Algonquin College, T-Building, Room T129, 1385 Woodroffe Ave., Ottawa.

Registration: Free. Please register by e-mail contacting: ottawapels@gmail.com

Organizer: Seminar by IEEE Ottawa Section, PELS, RS-PEL, PES, Education Activities and Algonquin College IEEE Student Branch, ComSoc, CESoc, and BTS Ottawa Joint Chapter

Abstract:
This presentation will highlight OPAL-RT’s latest FPGA-based electrical hardware solver for real-time simulation of high-frequency grid and drive converters, for smart grid and electric motor drive applications. As the development of FPGA-based systems is typically for advanced users, OPAL-RT’s solution is oriented towards non-flashing technology using a generic and optimized approach to solve power electronics circuit for these applications. As motor controller's algorithms become more complex, so do tests and development of new control strategies. This presentation will also highlight the latest developments of OPAL-RT efforts to work efficiently with these new challenges and to improve time to market of grid converters and electric motor drive systems. OPAL-RT turnkey system for ECU testing and rapid motor prototyping is in line with this philosophy as the user interface allows easy modification of motor or drive topology without requiring knowledge in FPGA or reprogramming the FPGA. The objective of this approach is to enable hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with submicrosecond time steps.
