Power Hardware in-the-Loop Validation of DC-DC Power Converter

Power Hardware in-the-Loop Validation of DC-DC Power Converter

The paper describes the development of a power converter small-scale mock-up and a real-time model of an offshore wind farm. Power Hardware In-the-Loop (PHIL) validation is proposed for a demonstration of grid architecture and control principles. Results obtained with a test bench underline the importance of PHIL testing in the power converter development for DC grid applications.

Experimental Validation of Model Predictive Control Applied to the Azura Wave Energy Converter

Experimental Validation of Model Predictive Control Applied to the Azura Wave Energy Converter

Ocean wave energy is a promising area of renewable energy development. However, there are unique operational challenges, particularly modeling, estimation, and control. This article presents a model-predictive control (MPC) formulation and its experimental testing applied to the 1/15th scale Azura wave energy converter developed by Northwest Energy Innovations (NWEI).

Software Simulation Tool for Design of the Energy Management System in Elevators

Software Simulation Tool for Design of the Energy Management System in Elevators

This work shows the development of a software tool that provides realistic operation power profiles in elevators for residential and public buildings applications to accelerate Energy Management System prototyping. The simulator is validated and verified through computer simulations, through a HIL (Hardware-in-the- Loop) platform and is finally validated using a full-scale laboratory prototype.

Wave Tank and Bench-Top Control Testing of a Wave Energy Converter

Wave Tank and Bench-Top Control Testing of a Wave Energy Converter

This paper details the design and execution of an experiment for evaluating the capability of model-scale wave energy converters to execute basic real-time realizations of prospective control algorithms. Model-scale hardware, system, and experimental designs are considered, meeting the dynamic requirements of a control system. A dry bench testing method is proposed and utilized for efficient rapid control prototyping.
