Requirements

A power electronic teaching laboratory combined with the latest HIL simulation technology is required to meet the following requirements:

• The experimental teaching platform. Students are expected to build the power electronic topology with hands-on experiments. The platform should help students to learn the control theories of renewable energy systems intuitively.

• The research platform. The platform should be suitable for graduate students to do some research. The control side can be customized and the control algorithm can be verified in the closed-loop experiment.
  

Solutions

ModelingTech leverages both their power electronics domain expertise and FPGA technology to provide the HIL-based power electronics teaching solution. In this platform, the powerful real-time simulator supports the real-time simulation with one microsecond step size, and the control algorithm is open and modifiable. Therefore, the platform meets the requirement of the HUST well. The picture of the HUST Power Electronics HIL Lab is shown as below:
