A Universal Hardware-In-Loop Platform for Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids
Abstract
In this proposed research, a universal hardware-in-loop (HIL) platform will be built as the stable, accurate and reliable test platform to verify various control strategies for the hybrid AC/DC microgrid. Based on the universal HIL platform, the strategies for regulating and optimizing the hybrid AC/DC microgrid will be developed. Moreover, a high reliability, high stability and high performance AC-AC power converter will be designed for the integration of wind turbine into the hybrid AC/DC microgrid. The improved virtual synchronous machine technology will be developed and verified on the universal HIL platform. The proposed research aligns with CODE 33 - “D. Naval Energy Resiliency and Sustainability” in BBA N00014-18-S-B001. The proposed research focuses on “microgrid analysis and testing”, and “integration of renewable energy resources into energy systems”. The outcomes of the proposed research includes a universal HIL platform, a regulation and optimization method for the hybrid AC/DC microgrid, a high reliability, stability and performance AC-AC power converter, and an improved VSM technology for the power inverters and rectifiers.
