Title: What is Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL)
Abstract: In this presentation, we will discuss the basics of the real-time simulation and the power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) testing. The details of developing a successful PHIL test setup and experiments will be discussed next which will include: typical applications for PHIL, specifications that are important to consider, selection of the amplifiers and additional requirements for creating closed-loop testing. Some examples of typical PHIL testing for power systems and power electronics will be provided.
Biography: Dr. Sudipta Chakraborty, Director of Energy Systems of OPAL-RT, is currently leading US R&D activities related to real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop for power systems and power electronics applications. Dr. Chakraborty has more than 11 years of experience in power converters and grid integration of PV, more than 9 years of experience in HIL, and more than 16 years of experience in power electronics. Prior joining to OPAL-RT, Dr. Chakraborty was a principal engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory where he was leading projects on grid integration of renewable such as development of high power density SiC PV inverter, development of modular power electronics, developing new hardware-in-the-loop based methods for inverter testing and supporting grid interconnection standards such as IEEE 1547 and IEEE1547.1.
