WORKSHOP: POWER HARDWARE IN-THE-LOOP MEETS GRID-FORMING CONTROL
Date: 19-20th June 2024
Location: Kassel, Germany
Practical demonstration of the potential to accelerate your development cycles of converter based applications
According to the Roadmap for System Stability in Germany of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK), grid-forming converters are expected to make a significant contribution to system stability by 2030. Until then, a large number of open research tasks have to be investigated with regard to the future system behavior at the level of grid operation down to the level of the control design of the individual converter systems.
Using the example of the existing challenges in the control design of grid-forming power converters, you will learn in the workshop how rapid control prototyping systems (RCP), together with power hardware-in-the-loop systems (PHIL), not only enable an easy entry into the laboratory validation of power converter-based applications.
This will be demonstrated in the workshop by laboratory experiments based on Ricoso (Rapid Inverter Control Prototyping Solutions) systems, currently developed at the Fraunhofer IEE, and HIL real-time simulator from OPAL-RT.
In addition, RCP and PHIL systems provide an efficient and powerful tool to accelerate your existing development processes of power converter-based applications, from the initial concept to the laboratory validation. This will be demonstrated in the workshop using laboratory experiments.
After the workshop, we offer to support your project idea or your specific problem with your RCP or PHIL application through individual discussions or to help you get started in this emerging field.
The workshop is aimed at engineers working in R&D groups of research laboratories, experts from manufacturing companies or TSO/DSOs (transmission/distribution system operator) focusing on converter control testing with a special focus on grid-forming converters.
Any M.Sc./PhD. student and Professor interested in such topics are welcome to attend.
