Abstract |
This paper deals with power electronic converter education program using LabVIEW. LabVIEW is a graphic based programming language with easy debugging, which is suitable for education program that can be used to study and figure out the operation of power electronic converters. When LabVIEW is employed as a simulation program of the operation of power electronic converters, the resulting program has the advantage such that the effects of the change of control variables and circuit parameters on the various variables such as the output voltage and the inductor current etc can be directly displayed without any separate compiling procedure. This paper shows the design procedure and the characteristics of the power electronics education program implemented by LabVIEW focusing on DC-DC converter among power electronic converters. |
