Rapid control prototyping of adjustable speed drive systems for OPAL-RT coursewares with the OP8666 module

This project is focusing on the development of RCP coursewares for adjustable speed drive (ASD) systems with the OP8666 module. The OP8666 RCP module will be used to implement, test, and validate the control algorithms in real-time before being connected in the real-world ASD systems.
Two ASD courseware module families have been agreed for the development of RCP teaching laboratory. The first courseware module includes different electric motor drives such as PM, IM and DC machines, while the second one includes power electronic converter topologies such as DC-DC choppers, three-Phase Thyristor Bridge Rectifier, single-phase and three-phase 2-level inverter and finally three-phase 3-level NPC inverter.
With the developed RCP teaching laboratories, students and researchers in R&D centers or universities will learn and master adjustable speed drives with the OP866 module, which is fast enough to visualize electrical motor drives and power electronics phenomena that can be seen on more expensive and time-consuming analogue setups.
