From Simulation to FPGA Control Circuit Implementation for Wind Power with Battery Charging

Article Preview

Abstract:

While application of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip has been extensively investigated, the charging control is relatively unexplored. This paper proposes a flow chart of energy storage for wind power system with Lead-Acid battery whose charging control is constructed by Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) code. This research focuses on the proposed digital control algorithm can be directly downloaded into field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip after simulation finishing. This saves greatly time on hardware circuit design. A simulation is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed charging flow chart.
