Programmable digital signal processors (DSPs) are emerging as the processor
s of choice in monitoring and control of high-end power electronics systems
. This paper adopts a case study approach to illustrate a development metho
dology for DSP-based solutions. The unique features of DSP chips that make
them ideal for real-time applications are highlighted. Power electronics sy
stems where DSPs have been used are indicated, A case study in which a DSP-
based solution was developed for a power quality monitoring application is
presented. Through the case study, the issues involved in adopting a system
architecture, selecting a DSP, and developing software for an application
are discussed. The methodology described in this paper presents broad guide
lines which can be intelligently applied to develop DSP-based solutions to
meet specific requirements.
