Remote laboratory for experimentation with multilevel power converters

This paper describes the hardware and software modules of a remote Internet-based laboratory for experimentation with a 120KVA multilevel power converter. The key feature of this laboratory is the utilization of a multilevel converter that can be controlled and supervised remotely in a secured way. A wide variety of laboratory experiments are supported, from grid connection to ac motor control. The users can choice the control structure, the control parameters and the kind of load and get the graphical results of the measurements, all in real time.
