| Abstract |
This paper deals with innovative compact converters for use in local transit vehicles. Utilising the latest generation of low voltage IGBT modules [1], a compact and low cost design of the entire converter system is achieved. Due to the high switching frequency of IGBTs a simple PWM modulation strategy can be applied with no need of complex transitions between different modulation strategies. The control system is set up with a new in-house platform (OPCoDe platform) using FPGA technology at a high speed level (< 25 ms) and a slower MATLAB®/Simulink® based programming environment at lower speed levels (50 ms range and slower). Thanks to these advanced tools, high-quality software can be provided and modifications can be easily carried out, even during operation. |
