This presentation highlights the use of RCP and PHIL techniques to test grid-forming inverters, which are critical for decentralized energy systems in the energy transition. A microgrid equipped with RCP inverters and PHIL setups is used to emulate and analyze grid-forming functions such as synchronization and load sharing. The flexible test structure combines real and simulated environments, enabling rapid development from concept to validation. The results demonstrate how grid-forming control systems respond under various conditions, providing valuable insights into their performance and the advantages of this innovative testing approach.
