Computer-aided control of buck-boost converter test module

To convert application of theoretical information in the schools which educates engineering, technology and career is necessary for more effective learning. Lack of the laboratory facilities in the educational institutions restricts the students to do more efficient experimental studies.In this thesis, power electronics test module in the laboratory is realized computer-aided control. Thus, access of the test module is performed with a local computer whenever the students want. For this purpose, switching signal is generated with Matlab/Simulink and real time switching of the test module in the laboratory is performed with Data Acquisition Card. Signal samples is gathered from different points of the test module and transfered to computer via Data Acquisition Card. Then, closed-loop control of the system is provided with PI, PID and fuzzy logic controllers. The results of simulation model are compared with the results of real time computer-aided control of the test module.
