RT23 | Transcending Concept to Realization: Accelerated Development for Grid-Forming Control

Embark on a journey from concept to realization with Jonas Steffen, Group leader of Converter Control at Fraunhofer IEE, Germany, in his presentation on "Transcending Concept to Realization: Accelerated Development for Grid-Forming Control." Explore the motivation driving the need for rapid inverter control prototyping solutions and gain insights into the Fraunhofer Test Site's utilization of Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (P-HiL) methods. Delve into the laboratory setup involving RCP and P-HiL, witness the investigation of system split and resynchronization of microgrids, and examine the test results. Jonas Steffen will conclude the presentation by emphasizing the key takeaways, including the use of high-performance SiC-technology, the integration of both RCP and P-HiL amplifiers with the capability of unsymmetrical loads, the inclusion of a grid-forming control library, a high-performance communication interface, and powerful control development tools. Don't miss this opportunity to grasp the accelerated development strategies shaping the future of grid-forming control.
