HVDC Circuit Breakers: A Review Identifying Future Research Needs

“…In this method, only the component of the system which is under investigation is a real physical device. All other components and their interaction with the test object are simulated with a real-time simulator [108], [113]- [115]. For an HVDC circuit breaker, this could mean that the interaction with the network and the energy dissipation could be simulated.…”

An Advanced Platform for Development and Evaluation of Grid Interconnection Systems Using Hardware-in-the-Loop: Part III -- Grid Interconnection System Evaluator

“…For example, earlier work on the NREL ICS development and evaluation platform [5] included both a CHIL-based methodology, by which ICS controllers can be tested against simulated inverter hardware prior to at power testing, and a power HIL (PHIL)-based PV simulator that can be used to test a PV ICS's response to the truly dynamic output of a PV array. Many other projects have leveraged CHIL and PHIL techniques for use with motor drives [9], generator excitation systems [10], and renewable energy applications [11] [12]. The use of HIL for grid conformance testing is mentioned in [13] and [14], however both of these works simply mention concepts and methodologies for testing different grid conformance aspects and lack implementation and results.…”

A High Performance Real-Time Simulator for Controllers Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

“…Moreover, the presence of the analog interface along with amplifiers enables the use of the simulator to operate in a power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) configuration. In this configuration, physical power system components, e.g., machines, power electronic converters, etc., can be interfaced directly to the simulator [36][37][38]. In this work, DAC boards based on the Linear Technologies 16-bits parallel input LTC1668 DAC are developed to be used with the FPGA-based real-time simulator.…”
