“…A key application of HIL is the designing and verification of algorithms for power converter controllers [14]. HIL may be used for the testing and verification of design models in fields such as traction control, anti-lock braking system [15], vehicle applications for testing and verification of electronic control units [16], examining a controller for electrical locomotive systems [17], performance and evaluation testing of an electrical motor drive system [18,19], validating control systems for magnetic levitation applications and a wide variety of applications [20][21][22].…”

Integration of renewable energy resources and conventional grids leads to an increase in power quality issues. These power quality issues require different standards to be followed for accurate measurement and monitoring of various parameters of the power system. Conventional power quality analyzers (PQAs) are programmed to a particular standard and cannot be reconfigured by the end user. Therefore, conventional PQAs cannot meet the challenges of a rapidly changing grid. In this regard, a Compact RIO-based (CRIO-based) PQA was proposed, that can be easily reprogrammed and cope with the challenges faced by conventional PQAs. The salient features of the proposed PQA are a high processing speed, interactive interface, and high-quality data-storage capacity. Moreover, unlike conventional PQAs, the proposed PQA can be monitored remotely via the internet. In this research, a hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation is used for performing the power-quality assessment in a systematic manner. Power quality indices such as apparent power, power factor, harmonics, frequency disturbance, inrush current, voltage sag and voltage swell are considered for validating the performance of the proposed PQA against the Fluke’s PQA 43-B.

The power hardware in the loop (PHIL) method is a reliable simulation and validation technology. It can be utilized to augment the test of electrical, mechanical or electromechanical components or subsystems with high power ratings. In addition, it can also be used to characterize their behavior when connected to some complex electrical networks or mechanical environment. Reliable and safe performances are paramount in a PHIL system. Thus, the proper PHIL modeling and power interface validation precedes any experimental implementation. In this paper, we focus on the stability and accuracy of the damping impedance method (DIM) and we propose the modified DIM method which increases the accuracy and the stability of the pmL through dynamic impedance matching of the load and the linking impedance component. Different cases are introduced in order to study the parameters which have effects on the PHIL system. First, the basic DIM method and the modified DIM architecture are introduced, and then two cases consisting of a constant load and a variable load will be presented, respectively.
