FPGA-based torque controller of a synchronous machine

The performances of the field programmable gate array (FPGA) increase continually, thus in many applications they can be an interesting alternative to DSPs and microcontrollers. The aim of this work is to present the implementation of a torque control for synchronous machine, as an approach to the design of reusable and reconfigurable architectures for the control of electrical systems. This approach is based on an appropriate design methodology that offers considerable design advantages. Experimental results carried on a prototyping platform are given to illustrate the efficiency and the benefits of the proposed approach.
