4. Development methodology

Implementing control algorithms for electrical machines in their entirety on hardware targets such as FPGAs is an approach that requires perfect mastery of the design process and specific work to match the algorithm to the control architecture to be integrated. Designers using FPGA-type components therefore need methodological know-how to satisfy all the constraints inherent in implementation, while providing sufficient development flexibility. Furthermore, electrical machine control applications require know-how in several fields. Indeed, they require the designer to master know-how in the fields of power electronics, electrical machines and their control. This difficulty leads designers to prefer standard implementations of software solutions, avoiding the need to add microelectronics expertise to their knowledge of the above-mentioned fields. Consequently, the implementation of control...
