A Hardware-In-The-Loop Platform For Dc Protection, Mark Vygoder May 2020

A Hardware-In-The-Loop Platform For Dc Protection, Mark Vygoder

Theses and Dissertations

With the proliferation of power electronics, dc-based power distribution systems can be realized; however, dc electrical protection remains a significant barrier to mass implementation dc power distribution. Controller Hardware-in-the-loop (CHiL) simulation enables moving up technology readiness levels (TRL) quickly. This work presents an end-to-end solution for dc protection CHiL for early design exploration and verification for dc protection, allowing for the rapid development of dc protection schemes for both Line-to-Line (LL) and Line-to-Ground (LG) faults. The approach combines using Latency Based Linear Multistep Compound (LB-LMC), a real-time simulation method for power electronic, and National Instruments (NI) FPGA hardware to enable …
