چکیده
This paper presents real-time digital simulator enabled hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) electrical machine drive lab setup for educational purposes. The objective of this work is to create a platform for laboratory experiments to enhance drive control design and testing. In the proposed setup, an OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator (RT-LAB) is used to implement the desired control schemes for AC and DC electric machine drives. Control blocks are created in Matlab/Simulink while measurement signals from the motors are taken into Matlab/Smimulink through RT-LAB I/O interface. RT-LAB software compiles the MATLAB code to C code and downloads it to OP-4500 OPAL-RT simulator through network connections. PWM signals are then generated by OP-4500 I/O board and sent to an power electronic board to drive a DC or AC machine.

Robust Controller Design Based-on Aerodynamic Load Simulator Identification Driven by PMSM for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations
Aerodynamic load simulators generate the required time varying load to test the actuator’s performance in the laboratory. Electric Load Simulator (ELS) as one of variety of the dynamic load simulators should follows the rotation of the Under Test Actuator (UTA) and applies the desired torque to UTA’s rotor at the same time. In such a situation, a very large torque is imposed to the ELS from the...
