As technology progresses, ever more reliable and maintenance-free systems must be developed in order to keep up with the constantly growing demand in automation. A field where this necessity becomes all the more noticeable is the world of power electronics. Any newly designed machine has to be thoroughly tested through all of its possible states before it is deemed ready for deployment. This process is usually very expensive, both in terms of time and in terms of resources, considering the wear on components and the long and tedious procedures to be followed. This work has the aim of finding a possible solution to this situation through the development of a tunable dynamic braking strategy, which would then be implemented as part of a test bench, exploiting a resistive element for electrical power dissipation and therefore braking torque generation.
