RT24 UK | PHIL Instability Prediction using Frequency Domain Impedance Analysis and the new PLUTON series/RT-LAB optical link

This presentation discusses a novel approach to predicting instability in Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) systems, focusing on frequency-domain impedance analysis to address challenges like impedance mismatches and delays. By leveraging the Opal-RT/PLUTON series amplifier optical link, which improves latency and communication fidelity, the study enhances the stability and reliability of PHIL experiments. The results demonstrate that this methodology ensures more reliable testing of modern power systems, including renewable energy and smart grids while offering valuable tools for researchers and engineers working on advanced power electronics and grid technologies.
