This paper demonstrates a multi-platform hardware-in-the-loop approach to observe the operation of a high speed permanent magnet synchronous generator coupled with a micro-turbine in an all-electric-ship power system. The mathematical model of the gas-turbine and dynamic equations of the high speed generator are implemented in real-time on an FPGA. This real-time simulation interfaces with hardware via a serial peripheral interface to a supervisory DSP of a 3-phase voltage source inverter. The inverter output load is virtually emulated in the FPGA using received hardware measurements from DSP. A user input interface is introduced using dSPACE on a PC to acquire data and adjust the speed reference of the generator system through a serial communications interface to the DSP. The real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop experimental setup are validated in a scaled-medium-voltage-DC ship power system.

This paper presents the application of switched reluctance machines in a power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) environment. The switched reluctance machine (SRM) is the subject of PHIL experiments that observe operation of the SRM in a simulated electric vehicle (EV) system. The PHIL setup is used to control the DC-Bus voltage of the SRM and to simulate a driving profile by applying a dynamic load to the SRM. The uniqueness and practicality of using switched reluctance machines in a PHIL environment is emphasized. Preliminary experimental data is presented to reinforce the operability of the PHIL-SRM.
