Assessing Military Microgrid Effectiveness through Real-Time/FPGA Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) Testing

Abstract

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of a National Instruments PXIe Real-Time/FPGA Hardware-in-the-loop system (FPGA-HIL). The P.I., Professor Shannon Strank, of the University of Texas at Austin will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of developing a new tactical microgrid power system standard. In particular, this equipment will enable the implementation, testing, and further development of statistical control algorithms developed in current ARO-funded SI project.
