Hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a boost converter with the Xilinx System Generator from Matlab/Simulink

This paper details the models of a boost converter for Hardware-In-The-Loop simulation. The emulated power converter and load are implemented in a Xilinx Virtex 5 device of a dSPACE board using the Xilinx System Generator from Matlab/Simulink. The implementable models are detailed and compared.
