HIL606: 4th Gen Flagship for Complex Microgrids and E-mobility Applications

Overview

Today’s microgrid control solutions are faced with a challenge of controlling an ever-increasing number of DERs which individual actions needs to be tightly harmonized in order to achieve the desired operational goals and ensure stable system operation under all conditions. At the same time, such solutions should be easy to configure and commission. HIL validation platform able to provide detailed DER models and realistic fieldbus interfaces at a large-scale can play an important role in rapid deployment of such control solutions.

Driven by the ever-increasing need for higher power and better efficiency, eMobility power electronics applications continue to grow in complexity and size. Effective HIL validation of the complex control code behind the employed control schemes calls for flexible high fidelity plant models. They need to provide detailed component models combined with very high time resolution and often at a large scale.
