Development of power electronic devices requires multi -disciplined engineering activities. These cover the thermal, electrical and software design. Due to this design complexity rapid prototyping methods and model-based design are becoming more and more important in the R&D projects in this field. In case of the multi-level inverter based drives the strict reliability requirements make the aforementioned new approaches more attractive. This article is the first part of the series which introduces the application of the model based design and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) tools through the modeling of a Cellular H-Bridge inverter (CHB). This article focuses on the power electronic system modeling and verification. The model of the CHB is implemented and verified in Matlab.

This article is the second part of the series which introduces the development of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) device for the simulation of Cellular H-Bridge inverter (CHB). Zynq-7000 platform is chosen as a hardware platform for HIL. This part focuses on the details of the model transformation, development of the hardware environment and the verification of the HIL. FPGA development is also demonstrated including interfaces, IPs and introduction of the resource utilization. Apart from them, operation of the system software in ARM core is also described including TCP/IP interface, IRQ handling and Matlab synchronisation mechanism. Finally, the Matlab interface and simulation results are introduced.

<p>This paper presents a novel topology of Single-phase multilevel inverter for low and high power applications. It consists of polarity (Level) generation circuit and H Bridge to generate both positive and negative polarities. The proposed topology can produce more output voltage levels by switching dc voltage sources in series and parallel. The proposed topology utilizes minimum number of power electronic devices which leads to the reduction of cost, size, and weight low and consumes low power which improves the efficiency. Switching pulses are generated using Phase disposition (PD) pulse width modulation technique. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed topology is verified using MATLAB/SIMULINK software tool. 7level asymmetrical multilevel inverter prototype hardware is prepared to support the proposed topology to verify the effectiveness and its validity.</p>

This paper establishes a power planning model based on minimization of the initial investment cost. The model includes the initial investment cost of wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, batteries, and biomass generators, diesel generators, power electronic devices and communications facilities in the objective function. In consideration of some constraint conditions, using the principle of priority of biomass generators, we use the particle swarm algorithm to solve the model. Through the calculation of actual examples, we simulate to find optimal solutions. Finally, we conclude that it should be possible to use biomass power generation and diesel generator power.
