Abstract

In this study, firstly, a general-purpose test simulator circuit was developed that could test the response of the circuits used in power electronic systems on hardware under various operating conditions (hardware in the loop). In the next step, a control board to be used for Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) was designed. The control software for SAPF was prepared using CubeMX IDE compiler for two different harmonic extraction methods using instantaneous reactive power theory (IRPT) and synchronous rotating reference frame (SRF) methods. Finally, before connecting the prototype SAPF control board and software to the real system, it had been verified to work safely using the designed test system. With this study, both the SAPF prototype circuit was prepared and a cost-effective system that could be found in the market was designed.

Güç Elektroniği Sistemleri için HIL (Hardware In The Loop) Simülatör Kartı Tasarımı ve Aktif Güç Filtreleri için Uygulanması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ilk olarak güç elektroniği sistemlerinde kullanılan devrelerin donanım üzerinde çeşitli çalışma şartlarındaki tepkilerini test edebilecek (hardware in the loop) bir genel amaçlı test simülatör devresi geliştirilmiştir. Sonraki aşamada, PAGF için kullanılacak bir kontrol kartı tasarlanmıştır. PAGF için anlık reaktif güç teorisi (IRPT) ve senkron dönen referans çerçeve (SRF) metotlarını kullanan 2 farklı harmonik çıkarım metodu için kontrol yazılımı CubeMX IDE derleyicisi kullanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Son olarak, oluşturulan prototip PAGF kontrol kartı ve yazılımı gerçek sisteme bağlamadan önce tasarlanan test sistemini kullanarak güvenli bir şekilde çalıştığı doğrulanmıştır. Bu çalışma ile hem PAGF prototip devresi hazırlanmış hem de bir donanım test simülatör sistemi uygun maliyetli olarak tasarlanmıştır.
