Co-design of embedded controllers for power electronics and electric systems

Today, control algorithms are becoming more sophisticated due to customer and government demands. Their real-time implementation is a difficult task and needs more specific hardware systems with dedicated processors and usually systems-on-chip (SOCs). In this paper, we present a seamless approach for the design of control systems for power electronics and electric drives. We discuss the case of a DC system control and describe in detail the different stages undergone. Generalization to others systems can be achieved easily using the same steps and transformations.
