Abstract

In recent years, many new mechatronic projects have been appearing both in scientific papers and on the market. Electrical and mechanical engineers are searching for an optimal solution for different mechatronic problems including the optimization of combustion engines, hybrid vehicles, compensation of vibration or its electrical counterpart, power factor correction. In this article, the problem of active power factor compensation is solved with two different microprocessor platforms: both are based on the same family of Texas Instruments microprocessors (TMS240LF24xx). The first one is upgraded with the user friendly Matlab/Simulink interface, and the second with TI Code Composer, low language (assembler, C) interface. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of both of these solutions are analyzed in terms of the active power filter (APF) example.
