“…The proposed methodology is based on using domain-based simulators individually, namely electric and mechanic part simulators, and also on integrating these with a co-simulation. The ECDS is modelled with the state variable method (Champagne et al 2004). Certain tools from Matlab R /SIMULINK are used to implement and simulate the electric parts of the ECDS.…”

The complexity of electromechanical coupling drive system (ECDS)s, specifically electrical drive systems, makes studying them in their entirety challenging since they consist of elements of diverse nature, i.e. electric, electronics and mechanics. This presents a real struggle to the engineers who want to design and implement such systems with high performance, efficiency and reliability. For this purpose, engineers need a tool capable of modelling and/or simulating components of diverse nature within the ECDS. However, a majority of the available tools are limited in their capacity to describe the characteristics of such components sufficiently. To overcome this difficulty, this paper first proposes an improved methodology of modelling and simulation for ECDS. The approach is based on using domain-based simulators individually, namely electric and mechanic part simulators and also integrating them with a co-simulation. As for the modelling of the drive machine, a finely tuned dynamic model is developed by taking the saturation effect into account. In order to validate the developed model as well as the proposed methodology, an industrial ECDS is tested experimentally. Later, both the experimental and simulation results are compared to prove the accuracy of the developed model and the relevance of the proposed methodology.

“…The alternatives to final system testing are to either build a small-scale prototype [30], which is time consuming to setup, inflexible, labor intensive to use, and expensive, or to use hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) rapid prototyping simulation tools. HIL emulation refers to a system in which parts of a real system are replaced by a real-time emulation platform [31], [32]. A mathematical model representing the real hardware has to be detailed enough to truly represent any transients or faults in a real system.…”

This paper proposes two power flow control algorithms for a grid-connected voltage source converter used as part of the energy storage for a smart grid under unbalanced voltage conditions. Both algorithms are improvements of the dual vector current control algorithm (DVCC). The first proposed algorithm, DVCC_CL, optimizes the method of limiting phase currents for the duration of voltage unbalance. The second proposed algorithm, DVCC_HB, provides high bandwidth control of active and reactive power. Which of the two proposed algorithms is the better choice depends on the grid code requirements and the constraints imposed by the particular energy storage system which the inverter connects to the grid. The operation of both algorithms was verified within the framework of an ultralow-latency hardware-in-the-loop emulator, which makes accurate analysis of converter behavior safe and easy for any grid conditions. Index Terms-Current control, energy storage, hardware-inthe-loop (HIL), power control, power quality, smart grid.

“…To implement the controller for the three-phase four-pole squirrel cage induction motor emulator, the parameters mentioned in Table I are taken as a reference model in generating reference currents [8]. The model is simulated to obtain the free acceleration characteristics of the machine when started direct-on-line with no load.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a method of emulating electrical loads using power electronic converters. The loads include machines such as induction motors and their associated mechanical load and also more complex machine systems such as wind-driven generators. The load emulator is, effectively, a dynamically controllable source or sink which is capable of bidirectional power exchange with either a grid or another power electronic converter system. Using load emulation, the feasibility of connecting a particular machine to a grid under various load conditions can be examined without the need for any electromechanical machinery. This paper considers the case of a power electronic voltage source inverter (VSI) emulating a three-phase induction motor connected to a three-phase ac grid. The VSI is operated in a mode where the current drawn from the ac grid is controlled by closed-loop control. The consistency of the experimental results with the simulation results proves the ability of the emulator and the proposed testing approach.
