Abstract

Microgrids are an emerging approach to achieve the goals of increased reliability, availability, efficiency and renewable energy usage. Many advanced control strategies have been developed to achieve these goals. However, final development and validation of the controls can be difficult due to the need for large and costly hardware testbeds. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators can enable the emulation of complex microgrid testbeds while developing the real-time control hardware to implement and verify theoretical optimal control strategies. This paper presents the development of loss-optimal and energy storage optimization of dc microgrids in distributed digital signal processor (DSP) hardware using HIL test setup.
