Multi-level inverter co-simulation based on the Zynq-7000 platform

Multi-level inverters became a competitive technology in the field of medium voltage inverters. Cellular H-Bridge (CHB) is a traditional multilevel topology, which seems to have a lot of attractive features in the MV applications. During the MV product development, rapid prototype methods like cohardware simulation can be applied to shorten the inverter control verification process. This paper presents a CHB multilevel inverter model with Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) arrangement and simulation results on Zynq-7000 platform. During the modeling and testing Matlab is used extensively. Matlab makes easier not only the development, but the debugging and verification as well.
