Introduction

Future power and energy systems with increasing integration of emergent technologies, converter-interfaced distributed generations, and energy storage units as well as responsive loads, require suitable testbed setups to evaluate their performance, reliability, and stability. Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (P-HIL) systems have been considered a testbed which offers a reasonable tradeoff between test fidelity and coverage. This workshop intends to address P-HIL technique for real-time simulation and testing of the integration of new technologies into various types of energy systems, mainly power electronic-based power systems. In addition to presenting the concepts and trends, the lab demonstrations will also be covered in this workshop. The effectiveness and practicality of the high-fidelity PHIL-based platform is evaluated by using the interconnection of a grid-forming power converter, operating as equipment under test, with a simulated network in the digital real-time simulator.

Topics:

  • Introduction to modern energy systems
  • Real-Time Simulation Concepts
  • P-HIL Concepts, Benefits, and Applications
  • Real-Time Modelling and P-HIL testing experience
  • Laboratory Demonstrations at Integrated Energy Systems Lab (IES Lab) - AAU Energy
