The DTC strategy of PMSM is described with Verilog hardware description language and is employed on-chip FPGA in accordance with the electronic design automation design methodology. Due to large torque ripples in low speed PMSM,the hysteresis controller in a conventional PMSM DTC was replaced by a fuzzy controller. This FPGA scheme integrates the direct torque controller strategy,the time speed measurement algorithm,the fuzzy regulating technique and the space vector pulse width modulation principle. Experimental results indicate the fuzzy controller can provide a controllable speed at 20 r min-1 and torque at 330 N m with satisfactory dynamic and static performance. Furthermore,the results show that this new control strategy decreases the torque ripple drastically and enhances control performance.展开更多

To perform pattern recognition and track fitting, artificial retina or Hough transformation algorithms have been introduced to the field typically implemented on state-of-the-art field programmable gate array(FPGA) devices. In this paper, we report on two FPGA implementations of the retina algorithm: one using a mixed Floating-Point core and the other using Fixed-Point and Look-Up Table, and detailed measurements of the retina performance are investigated and compared. So far, the retina has mainly been used in a detector configuration comprising parallel planes, and the goal of our work is to study the hardware implementation of the retina algorithm and estimate the possibility of using such a method in a real experiment.展开更多

There are so many challenges for implementing a smart home system in which the most important ones are the cost and simplicity of the implementation method.

In this paper, a novel solution for this demand is proposed, which not only minimizes the implementation cost, but also provides a high level of reliability and simplicity of operation; feasibility, extendibility, and flexibility are other leading properties of the design.展开更多
