ABSTRACT
Several software may be applied for such purpose; among them the LabVIEW, Arduino, and MATLAB® are underlined for power electronic application, especially for distributed generation systems. The programs created in LabVIEW are called virtual instruments (VIs), since they are workstations endowed with a flexible software allowing modularity. Programs written for Arduino Software (IDE) are called sketches. These sketches are written in text editor and are saved with the file extension.ino. MATLAB/Simulink is widely used for simulation of control modules by having a variety of powerful toolboxes. On the contrary, pulse-width modulation (PWM) software is widely used for power module simulation, because it has a simple graphical interface to use, even counting with almost negligible simulation time. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is a high-level software created to work with matrix calculations, and, over time, it has undergone changes and gained functionalities.
