Project Description and Objectives:

In power system research, the hardware experiment is an accurate testing method at the cost of high expenditure and poor flexibility. Software simulation is flexible and efficient, but the accuracy is limited by mathematic models. The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a hybrid testing method, in which part of the system is simulated in software while the rest is the actual hardware.

The modern power system is integrated in more and more renewable energy generators, which has a great impact on the dynamic characteristics of the power system. The internet-distributed hardware-in-the-loop simulation for renewable energy generation is to simulate the main grid of the simulation platform and interact with the actual renewable energy system in real-time via a cloud server.
