This paper assesses practical aspects related to advanced laboratory testing of smart grid applications with Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) approach. Particularly, the general features together with a set of extended use-cases for PHIL testing are introduced. An existing laboratory at TU Dortmund University is presented and considered as a reference for describing the architecture and the principal components of typical advanced laboratory testing infrastructures based on PHIL approach. A number of exemplary testbeds are provided to show the potentially applications of advanced PHIL testing for low-voltage distribution grids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
