A High-Fidelity PHIL-based Platform for Real-Time Simulation and Testing of Power and Energy Systems

Project Details

Description

Future power and energy systems with increasing integration of emergent technologies, converter-interfaced distributed generation and energy storage units as well as responsive loads, require suitable testbed setups to evaluate their performance, reliability, and stability. In this practical project work, a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) platform is developed to design, test and verify the integration of new technologies into various types of energy systems, mainly power electronic (PE)-based power systems. The platforms offers a reasonable tradeoff between test fidelity and coverage and provides opportunities to test advanced control algorithms for improved performance/robustness/efficiency of PE-based energy systems.
