Prototype Development And Testing of A Power Electronics Converter For Green Energy Using dSPACE
Green energy like Solar, Wind etc. which includes green electricity, is clean energy. In this case we use solar cell. It is produced with little to no environmental impact and does not dispense greenhouse gases into the air that contribute to global warming, the way fossil fuels do. By observing this advantages this paper presents a simulation modeling for hardware development of single phase inverter using dSPACE DS1202 controller board for photovoltaic application. The controller acquired the advantage of linking the simulated model in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to a prototype. It generates the pulse width modulation signals for the switching of the Mosfet switches. The controller managed to stabilize 50 Hz sinusoidal ac output voltage of the inverter. The result obtained is near to expected ones, it suggests that the developed control system exhibits a good performance. Thus, it justified that the develop control strategy can be translated into the inverter prototype by utilizing the dSPACE platform.
