Application spaceTyphoon HIL600 real-time power electronics emulator is an ideal tool for development, test-ing, optimization, and quality assurance of grid connected converters (i.e. PV, wind, active fil-ter), automotive converters, electric propulsion drives, micro-grids, and industry automation.

Easy to use software tool-chainUser friendly and intuitive software is ease to use and master, even for first time users. Build your models and perform sophisticated test scenarios, in the comfort of your office, in four steps:

Step 1. Define converter model in the sche-matic editor and compile circuit with one click.Step 2. Run the model from the simulation control center and change sources, toggle contactors, load machines etc.Step 3. Capture signals, zoom in, and explore the waveforms around critical events.Step 4. Automate steps 1 to 3 via Python test scripts and let the HIL600 comprehensively test your controller around the clock.

Typhoon HIL 600 highlights.

Test your controller with ultra-highfidelityand20nsPWM resolution HIL

20 ns PWM resolution combined with 1us latency enables the most realistic power elec-tronics controller test and development. For converter switching frequencies up to 40 kHz emulation error and latency is so small that it is difficult to tell the difference between real con-verter and HIL emulator measured waveforms.

Automated testing & Python scripting: the ultimate ease of use

Automate controller testing processes with Python scripting and HIL600 platform. Discover the most comprehensive power electronics control soft-ware testing environment where fault injection such as grid disturbances, short and open circuits are just one Python command away. Use Python scripting and rich math function library to quanti-fy system performance in spectrum of operating conditions under standard operating conditions and fault conditions (internal and external).

Zoom in voltages and cur-rents with Capture Function’s microsecond “microscope”

Quickly discover problems with your control algorithms, and debug the controller with deep memory capture function. Trigger the capture function based on fault injection events and quantify the converter system response. With 1 Megapoint capture record length, on all 16 analog channels, and 1MHz sample rate even tiny glitches in modulator algorithm are quickly identified.

Typhoon HIL600 use case.Centralized PV inverter with maximum power point tracking

Control software development

In this case, complete control software for central-ized PV inverter system, including four parallel MPPT converters is developed, tested and qualified using HIL600. All the fast controller functions—such as PWM modulation, current and voltage control loops, maximum power point tracking etc.—as well as protection functions and high-level control functions (i.e. dynamic grid support) were tested and charac-terized using HIL.Control loop tuning and optimization was done on real controller platform interfaced with HIL600. MPPT code was tested and verified using various illumination profiles (including partial shading) to confirm convergence to global maximum power point of PV panel. In addition current harmonic con-tent was measured to verify filter parameters.

Automatedtestingandqualification

HIL600, with its deep memory 1Msample/sec/chan-nel and 1MHz sample rate capture function, 6 paral-lel computation cores, and 20ns sampling resolution, provides the most comprehensive, highest fidelity HIL emulation environment. It is tailored for test and qualification of grid connected converter systems grid compliance including dynamic grid support. Automated test scripts cover test cases required for obtaining grid compliance certificates, i.e. BDEW. Auto-mated fault injection provides comprehensive environ-ment for test and verification of control performance under grid faults (sags, dips, frequency disturbances, over voltages), component failures, and environmental conditions (i.e. solar illumination). Capture function enables detailed analysis of converter dynamics and analytical verification of grid code compliance.
