“…The PSIL concept [3] can be used for: use cases with slow voltage dynamics and interactions among DER controllers, inverters and upstream controls, and dispatch of coordinated voltage control setpoints, among others. Similar interfacing challenges are considered in remote or geographically distributed PHIL setups, as discussed in Section 6 and [14,15].…”

“…Latencies over the Internet between different cities have been evaluated in [69,72]. Most of the publications in the field use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for transmission of data due to its RT capabilities [71,74,76,79], although the use of other protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or RT Protocol (RTP) have also been reported [14,67,69,75]. Additionally, an orchestrator can be utilized to coordinate the protocols, time steps and also for visualization and data logging aspects.…”

The integration of smart grid technologies in interconnected power system networks presents multiple challenges for the power industry and the scientific community. To address these challenges, researchers are creating new methods for the validation of: control, interoperability, reliability of Internet of Things systems, distributed energy resources, modern power equipment for applications covering power system stability, operation, control, and cybersecurity. Novel methods for laboratory testing of electrical power systems incorporate novel simulation techniques spanning real-time simulation, Power Hardware-in-the-Loop, Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop, Power System-in-the-Loop, and co-simulation technologies. These methods directly support the acceleration of electrical systems and power electronics component research by validating technological solutions in high-fidelity environments. In this paper, members of the Survey of Smart Grid International Research Facility Network task on Advanced Laboratory Testing Methods present a review of methods, test procedures, studies, and experiences employing advanced laboratory techniques for validation of range of research and development prototypes and novel power system solutions.

“…The conventional PHiL setup leverages a simulator that performs electromagnetic transient simulation in real time and a power amplifier controlled by instantaneous values of voltage waveform provided by the simulator at sampling rates similar to the real-time simulator, such as 10 kHz to 20 kHz, which allows investigations of transient phenomena and hardware response to, e.g., anomalous or disturbed system states, such as protection response or fault-ride-through behaviour. By contrast, testing needs in smart energy systems also include long-term behaviours relevant, e.g., for the study of load behaviour connected in complex distribution networks, voltage support and flexibility through coupling to other energy domains [7]. Fidelity requirements here apply to sampling rates of 10 Hz and below.…”

“…The QsPHiL approach introduced and analysed here refers to a power interface (converter, communications and interface algorithm) that aims at fidelity for stationary RMS frequency and RMS voltage levels, corresponding to a time scale of 0.1 Hz and slower, and thus reducing requirements at the power interface [7]. Quasi-static here refers to ability to emulate the global energy balance and stationary power flows using stationary RMS frequency and voltage parameters.…”

“…While conventional PHiL setups pose high challenges to be implemented in GD-PHiL manner as instantaneous values of waveforms must be exchanged between simulator and power amplifier, QsPHiL setups are suitable to be considered for GD-PHiL application [7]. A remote control hardware in the loop test, which remotely couples a distribution system simulated in RTDS located in Greece with an actual On-Load-Tap-Changer (OLTC) controller in Spain, is implemented in [18].…”

Distributed Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing Using a Grid-Forming Converter as Power Interface

et al. 2020

This paper presents an approach to extend the capabilities of smart grid laboratories through the concept of Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHiL) testing by re-purposing existing grid-forming converters. A simple and cost-effective power interface, paired with a remotely located Digital Real-time Simulator (DRTS), facilitates Geographically Distributed Power Hardware Loop (GD-PHiL) in a quasi-static operating regime. In this study, a DRTS simulator was interfaced via the public internet with a grid-forming ship-to-shore converter located in a smart-grid testing laboratory, approximately 40 km away from the simulator. A case study based on the IEEE 13-bus distribution network, an on-load-tap-changer (OLTC) controller and a controllable load in the laboratory demonstrated the feasibility of such a setup. A simple compensation method applicable to this multi-rate setup is proposed and evaluated. Experimental results indicate that this compensation method significantly enhances the voltage response, whereas the conservation of energy at the coupling point still poses a challenge. Findings also show that, due to inherent limitations of the converter’s Modbus interface, a separate measurement setup is preferable. This can help achieve higher measurement fidelity, while simultaneously increasing the loop rate of the PHiL setup.
