Power Hardware In The Loop Realization, Control and Simulation of Synchronous Generator Using Three Phase VSI for Microgrid Studies B. Ojaghloo, G.B. Gharehpetian 2017/04/25

Abstract

In subject of hardware in the loop (HIL) and power hardware in the loop (PHIL) systems, a part of system is a real physical subsystem and another subsystem is simulated in the processor.
This paper discusses this concept for a synchronous generator and chooses the best options for different parts of software side for its PHIL implementation. The PHIL system is simulated in Matlab/Simulink environment and results are validated using Matlab synchronous generator block as reference system. Also, different disturbances are applied to reference and simulated systems and the results are compared. The results show synchronous generator internal and external variables are emulated correctly by realized PHIL.
