In this paper, a high-speed microturbine (MT) permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) real-time emulation based on linear impedance regulator (LIR) using power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) for wind energy generation tests is presented. The LIR is designed without any feedback control loop for reshaping the s-domain performances of the current filter along with the converter inside the PMa-SynRG emulated system. The PHIL platform not only provides a method for eliminating the high cost of using real renewable energy hardware but also it enables the developers to create new, rapid, and reliable controllers for renewable energy testing. This platform can be used in investigating the performance of energy system under various conditions even if the generator prototype is not yet developed or unavailable. PMa-SynRG mathematical model is emulated in the real-time using PHIL platform while the output voltage of the proposed emulator imitates the generated voltage through the simulated model. In addition, a voltage source converter is employed as a voltage amplifier for imitating the PMa-SynRG performance when supplying nonlinear/linear loads. In this paper, the proportionalintegral resonant (PIR) controller is utilized at the voltage control loop for tracking the distorted output reference signal voltage. In order to investigate the performance of the proposed PMa-SynRG emulator, it has been simulated and compared with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
