Real-Time control of a Modular Multilevel Converter via MATLAB/Simulink and EtherCAT fieldbus

Abstract

This paper shows the possibility of using standardized communication system components to shorten the development time of complex power electronics converter control. It can be seen that the combination of MATLAB/Simulink with EtherCAT fieldbus is an excellent alternative to classical microcontroller-based solutions. Investigations were carried out on a modular multilevel converter topology (MMC), which was described in [1]. The elementary demands on the communication and control system, as well as the development process from simulation to implementation, are briefly reported. Finally, the performance of the overall system will be examined and the impacts of discrete signals and propagation delay on the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the output voltage are discussed.
