Advanced HIL Validation of High Frequency DC/DC Resonant and Single-Stage Matrix Converters.

Real-time simulation of power electronic converters is becoming increasingly important as inverter-based resources, energy storage systems, and large converter-interfaced load interconnections increase. It is a growing challenge to ensure their reliable integration, compliance with standards and specifications, and stable operation of the bulk power system. Professionals need to be able to model and predict fast transient phenomena and complex control interactions in order to effectively study and de-risk these technologies. Converter OEMs, power system engineers, and researchers need assurance that their device models are reliable and accurate over a wide range of functions and operating conditions. This presentation will explore how real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing are providing these critical capabilities across many applications within the power electronics and power systems industries. Attendees will learn the fundamentals of electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation, the motivation for adopting real-time EMT simulation and HIL testing, HIL testbed components and considerations, and examples of how leaders are applying this technology to de-risk power electronics integration and support factory testing and commissioning. Key recent developments in the real-time simulation space, including black box control integration for software-in-the-loop testing of power electronics, will also be discussed.

Model-based system engineering is a crucial methodology that supports the entire development cycle of energy conversion components, systems, and applications, from design to test and integration. This process typically involves various simulation approaches (e.g., MIL, SIL, and C-HIL) tailored to the specific requirements of each development stage. However, it often leads to the use of multiple software toolchains, necessitating the creation and maintenance of multiple models. As a result, manual changes must be propagated across these models, requiring additional time and leading to poor version control, a higher risk of introducing modeling errors, and increased costs. In response to these challenges, this demo explores how to seamlessly transition from offline simulation to real controller implementation, maintaining true model continuity from the early design phase through practical implementation and testing. Typhoon HIL’s integrated model-based engineering solutions will be showcased, demonstrating how to streamline the development process for intelligent digital power components and systems. An example workflow will guide attendees from initial design using the TyphoonSim™ offline simulator, through automatic code generation for target microcontrollers, and concluding with real-time testing using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology.

The demand for data processing and cloud services increases, grid-connected data centers are becoming major contributors to the overall electrical load on utility networks. These facilities operate with high power density and demand an uninterrupted power supply, making their integration into the grid complex. The fluctuating and sensitive nature of data center loads can cause significant challenges such as voltage instability, harmonic distortion, poor power factor, and increased fault current levels in the distribution network.

Additional sensors such as temperature and vibration will demonstrate how a complete measurement approach reveals insights beyond standard power analysis.

This demo shows how engineers can validate embedded controllers for power converters and motor drives before connecting them to real hardware using Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation.
