Abstract
Current development towards implementation of the future smart grid includes advanced controller and power hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL/PHIL) testing of new technology. The impact of new loads, distributed energy resources (DER) equipment, and controls spans two fields, both electric distribution power systems modeling, typically completed in the phasor domain, and electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis across the frequency domain. The co-simulation of distribution power systems and power electronic converter controls is a growing field of research for improved design using real-time HIL capability. Within this paper, over fifty references are reviewed to summarize the current state of HIL technology, specifically with co-simulation in laboratory facilities and testing. Additionally, a methodology for “weakly” coupling very large distribution systems with power electronic models through co-simulation is proposed and applied for DC fast charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in a benchmark case study on the IEEE 8500-node test feeder.
