Projects


Processor in the Loop   The PIL methodology allows the user to test the actual control software running in a dedicated processor that controls a virtual prototype of the plant.
Power Hardware in the Loop    
High Speed Interface for Real Time Simulation     A custom interface is developed to address the timing issues introduced by the presence of switching circuits in the simulated system, maintaining appropriate accuracy in the testing procedure.
Multi-Serial Interface for Agent Based Simulation   VTB is a simulation platform and it maybe become necessary to interface VTB with external devices or agents. Thus the need for a multiple port interface is necessary.
Fuzzy-based diagnostics for electrical drives    
Real-Time Hardware in the Loop Simulation   Real-time HIL simulation replaces the emulated hardware under test or control logic in the simulation model with real hardware that interacts with the computer models.
Modular Linear Motor    
Implementation of TET transformers    
DSP-based platforms for real-time simulation   Set up of a real-time environment for the Virtual Test Bed using DSP’s powerful computational performance.
• API techniques using Active-X for co-simulation purpose    
Nonlinear Control Design via Symbolic Computation   The Synergetic Control Technique is applied to motor drive systems. The design, simulation and implementation are aided by a tool based on symbolic computing.
VXI-based Real Time Simulation   Use of a VXI system as a simulation platform for parallel and distributed real-time simulations.
FPGA-based systems   Application of FPGA devices in current projects.
Future Energy Challenge 2003   USC award winning project in the FEC 2003 competition.
