GIMENEZ, MARÍA et al. Plataforma: Development of an integrated dynamic test system to determine power electronics systems erformance. Rev. Fac. Ing. UCV [online]. 2008, vol.23, n.3, pp.91-102. ISSN 0798-4065.

This work presents the basic design of and later improvements to the integrated dynamic test system called Plataforma, which is a test rig developed by the Industrial Systems and Power Electronics Group (GSIEP) of the Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela. It is intended for experiments in power electronics and motor control, testing new strategies and control schemes, based on vector control theories, parametric estimation, neural networks and fuzzy logic control systems, applied to machine drives, and taking into account the effect of these control strategies over the power quality. The equipment includes driver power stages, a mechanical load emulation stage, an instrumentation stage and a signal processing and control stage. Due to its high versatility, this test system can be used in research laboratories, as well as in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching courses.
