Microgrid

This section describes the microgrid components library in Typhoon HIL's Schematic Editor.

The Microgrid library comprehends a set of ubiquitous components and devices of a regular AC and DC microgrid that are implemented in the HIL Toolbox in such a way that users can easily add them to their system without further ado. These components have their control loops implemented with signal processing blocks and can be fully parametrized through their mask.

The current version of Schematic Editor offers a selection of the following microgrid components:

Feeder protection relay (example)

NPC PV Inverter

Wind power plant

Battery inverter
