Hardware in the Loop for Renewable systems with SoC platforms
CY Cergy-Paris University is organizing a School for young researchers, technically sponsored by ESoC Technical Committee of IES IEEE.
The event provides Master and PhD students, lecturer, researchers and engineers from academia and industry the opportunity to design/implement and hardware/software co-simulate a renewable energy system.
HILRES’24 aims to providing a three-day design from scratch experience of a bare-metal SoPC based Hardware in the Loop platform to model, simulate and control a complete Photovoltaic (PV) system using various design methodologies on low-cost SoC platforms.
Key Activities
Here is the provisional schedule for HILRES School. This schedule is subject to minor changes that will be announced later.
Wednesday, November 27th, 2024
- Fundamentals of a photovoltaic system.
- Controlling a photovoltaic system.
- Matlab/Simulink modelling and simulation of a photovoltaic system.
- SoC FPGA Hardware/software co-design of a photovoltaic system with PYNQ boards (D/A and A/D converters, PWM), Power converters on-chip modelling.
Thursday, November 28th, 2024
- SoC & Zynq Architecture (heterogeneous SoC, Processor System, FPGA, architecture and interfacing).
- VHDL fundamentals.
- FPGA-based for Ac drive applications.
- Core to Core Communication (synchronous and asynchronous communications, interface definition and selection, internal communication between different processor cores).
- SoC FPGA Hardware/software co-design of a photovoltaic system with PYNQ boards (Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, I/O, Timers, interrupts).
Friday, November 29th, 2024
