With the proposed experiment, the student will be able to
analyze, design and implement static converters using digital
control systems. To perform this experiment, the students
should have background knowledge on power electronics, analog and digital electronics and programming techniques of microcontrollers.
The student could observe, from the experimental
results, the validity of theoretical models. In this experiment
we used a boost converter and a discrete-time PI
controller, but other converters, e. g., buck and buck-boost,
and other controllers can be used without the need for major
changes to the proposed experiment. It is suggest that when
applied to a class of undergraduate students, more kind of converters
can be analyzed. The class can be divide in groups,
when each group should investigate a different converter or
digital controller.
