Building a Better Microgrid with Hardware-in-the-Loop

HIL Addresses Microgrid System Integration Challenges

Print version of the white paper titled Building a Better Microgrid with Hardware in the Loop.

As the electric power grid continues to evolve and becomes more agile and complex, the arguments in favor of MBE and HIL become more compelling. This is especially true when it comes to microgrids.
If the aim of a decentralized and digitalized grid is reliability and resilience, the digital tools used to design, test and integrate the components to achieve that end should be no less rigorous and up to date. Model Based Engineering, and especially C-HIL, represents the state-of-the-art approach to link value assessment, engineering, and system operation. Further more, it becomes a significant tool in speeding up de-carbonization of the human impact on the environment.
