A Novel and Flexible Test Stand for Medium Voltage Drives Using a Hardware-in-loop (HIL) Simulator Paper has been accepted for PCIM Europe
With increasing complexity of topology and control strategies in medium voltage (MV) drives, a digital hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulator exhibits great advantage over a traditional analog test stand in terms of cost and flexibility. However, a great effort for developing a proper solver, an optimized design of the hardware, firmware and fine-tuning of the model is required to maintain sufficient accuracy of the HIL test stand. This paper presents the novel solver and the system architecture used by the HIL-simulation-based test stand for medium voltage drives. Test results of the ACS 6000 drives are shown under various conditions, and compared with the measurement acquired from the field testing.
