Tuning Algorithms Applied to Active Filter Systems

This project focuses on optimizing the performance of multilevel inverters through the development and tuning of advanced modulation algorithms. The primary goal is to enhance energy efficiency and power quality by addressing the need to reduce operational losses and mitigate harmonic contamination in industrial and domestic installations. The proposed solution involves implementing six DSP-based control boards for signal simulation, acquisition, and processing. Algorithms for active filter systems will be determined and optimized, validated first through MATLAB simulations and subsequently on the DSP modules. Finally, the existing power stage will be coupled with the implemented algorithms to conduct comprehensive testing. These tests will verify the system's capability to compensate for the power factor in a real installation, utilizing acquisition boards and an oscilloscope for variable analysis and quantifying improvements in line current harmonic characteristics.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>Develop algorithms for multilevel structures to enable efficient modulation techniques, focusing on simplifying calculations to reduce response time and decreasing power element switching to minimize losses, while ensuring control over harmonic contamination.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Optimization of energy and renewable energies
