| Summary: | The power grid is rapidly transforming into a complex cyber-physical system, where
various distributed energy resources, microgrids, and smart inverters are key components. To
keep up with this trend, new design and testing tools are essential. One such tool is the realtime Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, which allows for comprehensive and reliable
testing of power electronics systems.
In this study, we focus on the modelling and simulation of a Dual Active Bridge
Converter and DC-AC Converter using the Typhoon HIL simulation software. By
conducting virtual simulations, we aim to consider all factors that can affect the performance
of real circuits. Then, we compare the virtual simulation results with the real experimental
data to assess the reliability of the experimental results.
Our findings suggest that the proposed HIL simulation methodology can accurately
simulate the Dual Active Bridge Converter and DC-AC Converter and provide valuable
insights for control design and testing of power electronics systems. Overall, our study
demonstrates the effectiveness of HIL simulation in ensuring the precision and reliability of
power electronics experiments in the context of the evolving technological landscape.
