“…In [21], a three-level coordinated voltage/var control scheme is validated with power hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) test and cable commutations among distributed controllers. In [22] and [23], multi-site cosimulation platforms to emulate the virtual integration of power systems are proposed, but the implementation of distributed controllers on MASs is not included.…”

Internet-of-Things concepts are evolving the power systems to the Energy Internet paradigm. Microgrids (MGs), as the basic element in an Energy Internet, are expected to be controlled in a corporative and flexible manner. This paper proposes a novel distributed control scheme for multi-agent systems (MASs) governed MGs in future Energy Internet. The control objectives are frequency/voltage restoration and proportional power sharing. The proposed control scheme considers both intra and inter MASs interactions, which offers group plug-and-play capability of distributed generators (DGs). The stability and communication delay issues in the control framework are analysed. A multi-site implementation framework is presented to explain the agent architecture as well as data exchange in local area networks and the cloud server. Then a cyber hardware-in-the-loop (C-HiL) experiment is conducted to validate the proposed control method with multi-site implementation. The experimental results prove the effectiveness and application potentials of the proposed approach. 1

“…A quasi-static fidelity can thus also be considered when power-flow simulation models are applied in a PHiL setup. Quasi-static and quasi-dynamic PHiL setups therefore have many precursors in the literature (see, e.g., [13][14][15]). To classify a PHiL, in terms of dynamic fidelity, we consider: (a) the intra-emulator fidelity (at what resolutions are the emulated dynamics accurate?…”

Distributed Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing Using a Grid-Forming Converter as Power Interface

This paper presents an approach to extend the capabilities of smart grid laboratories through the concept of Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHiL) testing by re-purposing existing grid-forming converters. A simple and cost-effective power interface, paired with a remotely located Digital Real-time Simulator (DRTS), facilitates Geographically Distributed Power Hardware Loop (GD-PHiL) in a quasi-static operating regime. In this study, a DRTS simulator was interfaced via the public internet with a grid-forming ship-to-shore converter located in a smart-grid testing laboratory, approximately 40 km away from the simulator. A case study based on the IEEE 13-bus distribution network, an on-load-tap-changer (OLTC) controller and a controllable load in the laboratory demonstrated the feasibility of such a setup. A simple compensation method applicable to this multi-rate setup is proposed and evaluated. Experimental results indicate that this compensation method significantly enhances the voltage response, whereas the conservation of energy at the coupling point still poses a challenge. Findings also show that, due to inherent limitations of the converter’s Modbus interface, a separate measurement setup is preferable. This can help achieve higher measurement fidelity, while simultaneously increasing the loop rate of the PHiL setup.

“…Crossinfrastructure experiment can be constructed in that case to fulfil the requirements. In [12], a trans-oceanic integration of electrical equipment, controller and grid emulator is implemented. In [10] and [11], two frameworks (VILLAS and JanDER) connecting multiple hardware, real-time simulator and network simulator in the scale of Europe were presented.…”

Cyber-Physical Energy System, due to its multidomain nature, requires a holistic validation methodology, which may involve the integration of assets and expertise from various research infrastructures. In this paper, the integration of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition services to crossinfrastructure experiment is proposed. The method requires a high degree of interoperability among the participating partners and can be applied to extend the capacity as well as the degree of realism of advanced validation method such as co-simulation, remote hardware-in-the-loop or hybrid simulation. The proposed method is applied to a case study of multi-agent system based control for islanded microgrid where real devices from one platform is integrated to real-time simulation and control platform in a distanced infrastructure, in a holistic experimental implementation.
