An efficient FPGA implementation of the space vector modulation algorithm

This paper presents an optimized FPGA controller based on the space vector modulation algorithm. The novel system is used for the current control of three phase electric machines fed by three phase voltage source inverters. The modeling and simulation was carried out in Matlab Simulink, using the System Generator software. The algorithm parameters can easily be adjusted for different requirements. The design was implemented into a low cost FPGA device. Implementation performance in terms of area and speed is presented and compared to other controllers in the literature. Experimental results verify the correct operation of the system.
