Modular Equipment for Implementation of Power Electronic Topologies

This article presents a modular equipment that allows the implementation of single-phase or three-phase power electronics topologies for research applications. The designed equipment includes an interface to adaptation of signals that is compatible with Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) models TMS320F28377D and TMS320F28335. In addition, drivers compatible with uni-directional or bi-directional power devices were designed, and a Power Module that integrates on a single board the voltage and current measurement circuits, power devices, DC link (Direct Current) and capacitor bank. Finally, an example of implementation of a single-phase Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter is presented with its experimental results.
