| Summary: | Currently, with the rapid advancement in technology, it has become increasingly common for companies to come up with relevant ideas, developing quicker, more reliable and cheaper products in their own specific market circle. Therefore, for companies to be one step ahead of their competition, experiments conducted by the researchers must be done with high accuracy and speed.
In the power sector, there is an ever-increasing reliance on technology, leading to increasing demand for more power. To tackle current issues or problems concerning future load growth as well as introducing renewables for a cleaner power generation, researchers can firstly test or replicate different control circuit designs and reinforce their theories via multiple simulation platforms, each with a different testing purpose. Over the years, the simulation of complex circuits can be sped up by the addition of real-time digital simulators (RTDS), making it more convenient for the researchers in their modelling, testing and circuit analysis.
This project aims to utilise both the RTDS and power amplifier, creating a Power hardware in-the-loop (PHIL) experiment and highlighting its importance and the convenience it brings to researchers, when analysing a simulation of a complex circuit design. In this project, an alternate current (AC) synchronization between a conventional power grid and a voltage source inverter (VSI) will be simulated and executed in the RTDS, along with external signals in real-time. The results from the simulation will be examined and discussed.
