Xilinx Alliance Program Certification Commitment

As part of their commitment to the Xilinx Alliance Program Certification ELMG Digital Power CTO and founder, Dr. Hamish Laird has completed Xilinx Certification.

When asked about this Dr Laird said

“As part of ELMG Digital Power’s continuing commitment to Xilinx, the Xilinx Alliance Program and the fantastic technology that Xilinx provides I am excited to complete this training and achieve Certification.  We see great things happening with Xilinx All Programmable FPGAs and Zynq SoCs.  It was great to see the capability of the UltraScale technology and to see the progress and extension of the Vivado Suite.  We are really pleased to continue our Xilinx Alliance Program commitment and are please to be part of the Xilinx community.”

A question about LCL filter

Wednesday, March 1st, 2017

I’ve got a situation where I have a generator hooked up to a rectifier doing space vector control. The rectifier has an LC filter. Inductor current and cap voltage is measured. The L from the generator makes up the second L. I didn’t put a virtual damper in the fpga code (like I should have) and am trying different things. This is only a prototype so just working is the main thing. Which would be the best way to go in my current situation?

*pole cancellation in the digital controller (in dq and 0 components)
*Adding a physical damping resistor to the filter cap
*increasing filter cap
*removing filter cap (voltage Pll seems to track fine on HIL and simulation but haven’t tried on power hardware)

Sorry about posting too much, but I’m thankful for any suggestions!
