Time Synchronous Control of Grid- and PV-Emulators for Laboratory Testing within a Co-Simulation Environment

Abstract

The increasing share of renewables and electric vehicles leads to new challenges and new control strategies. They result in an additional need of complex simulations and testing. Investigating novel controllers often requires to simultaneously simulating multiple domains and controlling power electronics. The AIT Lablink enables coupling of different simulation tools and laboratory hardware. This work discusses the development of Lablink drivers for two grid and two PV emulators. Beside control possibilities also the latencies of the implementations are examined.
