Description
Summary:Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering)))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011. === This thesis presents an investigation into the generic tools, hardware and firmware, involved in power electronic converter control and feedback. The aim was to determine the optimal controller architecture through research of existing controllers. As soon as the architecture was established, design of the controller commenced. Explanations for the various components selected were provided. The design considerations when designing a printed circuit board (PCB) with mixed signals was also presented. The theory behind the control of a multicell converter as well the practical implementation of the control scheme in firmware was presented.
