“…For a given simulation platform, the minimum attainable time-step in the solver constrains the physical phenomena that can be represented faithfully. Amplifiers and I/O interfaces used in the PHIL simulation introduce delays and distortions, which further limit the frequency bandwidth of the whole platform [11,12].…”

The article presents the Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL) approach for an autonomous power system analysis based on the synchronous generator model incorporating magnetic saturation effects. The model was prepared in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and then compiled into the C language for the PHIL platform implementation. The 150 kVA bidirectional DC/AC commercial-grade converter was used to emulate the synchronous generator. It was controlled by the real-time simulation control unit with the prepared synchronous generator model incorporating magnetic saturation effects. The proposed approach was validated on the 125 kVA synchronous generator connected to the active and reactive loads of different values for the steady-state and the transient-state performance studies.

Due to the poor accessibility, poor operating conditions, high failure rate, long maintenance time, and difficult maintenance of wind hybrid generators, the economic loss is huge once the failure stops. To this end, the fault adaptive fault-tolerant control of distributed wind and wind hybrid generators is studied, the historical operation data of offshore wind and wind hybrid generators and onshore wind and wind hybrid generators are counted and compared, and the fault characteristics of key components of offshore wind and wind hybrid generators are analyzed. The generator sets are summarized, and the common electrical faults of wind turbines and their impacts on the system are analyzed. This paper summarizes the current research status of fault-tolerant operation of existing offshore wind and wind complementary generators in terms of software fault tolerance and hardware fault tolerance, summarizes the current fault tolerance schemes for offshore wind and wind complementary generators, and analyzes the application feasibility of existing fault tolerance schemes. In addition, the main problems of fault-tolerant offshore wind and solar complementary generator sets are pointed out, and future research hotspots are foreseen.

“…Within this process, time delay is present due to the interconnection between components and the amplification stage that would not exist on a hardware only scenario. The total loop delay of PHIL simulations affects the stability of the simulation, but is often overlooked due to the importance of the interface algorithm (IA) and the relationship between impedances at both sides of the interface for achieving a stable simulation [4]- [6]. Furthermore, the phase relationship between current and voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) is also affected.…”

The testing of complex power components by means of power hardware in the loop (PHIL) requires accurate and stable PHIL platforms. The total time delay typically present within these platforms is commonly acknowledged to be an important factor to be considered due to its impact on accuracy and stability. However, a thorough assessment of the total loop delay in PHIL platforms has not been performed in the literature. Therefore, time delay is typically accounted for as a constant parameter. However, with the detailed analysis of the total loop delay performed in this paper, variability in time delay has been detected as a result of the interaction between discrete components. Furthermore, a time delay characterization methodology (which includes variability in time delay) has been proposed. This will allow for performing stability analysis with higher precision as well as to perform accurate compensation of these delays. The implications on stability and accuracy that the time delay variability can introduce in PHIL simulations has also been studied. Finally, with an experimental validation procedure, the presence of the variability and the effectiveness of the proposed characterization approach have been demonstrated.
