Description

This lecture gives students an overview of the need, concept, implementation and execution of Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing. At the end of the course:

• The students will be able to understand the setup of HiL systems (Device Under Tests, Real Time simulator, I/O, power amps for PHiL, interfacing principles and techniques)
• The students will be able to devise HiL test cases, creating models with an understanding of the trade-off between simulation fidelity and computational resources.
• The students can interface Device Under Tests, running Real Time simulations and executing tests.
• The students are able to perform an independent HiL project and deliver HiL experimental results.

The following topics are covered in detail:

• Introduction
• Introduction to Real Time Simulation
• Modelling in Real Time: Grid Modelling
• Modelling in Real Time: Power Electronics
• Modelling in Real Time: Multi-Time-Scale Networks
• Rapid Control Prototyping
• Controller Hardware in the Loop
• Power Hardware in the Loop
