The
SYNDEM smart grid research and educational
kit is a multifunctional power electronic
converter. It can be used to facilitate
research and education in grid integration
of various renewable energy sources, such as
solar power, wind power, and energy storage
systems, and flexible loads. The kit can be
reconfigured to obtain 10+ different power
electronic converters, versatile for
different applications with one complete
educational platform. It adopts the widely
used Texas Instrument (TI) C2000 ControlCARD
and is equipped to use the automatic code
generation tools of MATLAB® and Simulink®
and TI Code Composer Studio™ (CCS), making
it possible to generate experimental results
suitable for IEEE Transactions papers within
hours of simulations. The kit includes
Simulink blocksets covering all the hardware
interfaces (e.g. voltage & current
sensors, PWM, DAC, switches,
relays, LEDs), interfaces for data
monitoring and logging (e.g. RS485, CAN) and
example Simulink control models which users
can easily adapt to their own control
algorithms. Click for a flyer and an article with more details .
