Probably the two most demanding power electronics applications for HIL testing are in the Electric Vehicle (EV)
domain, namely: high performance motor drive, and battery chargers. Such applications
pose a significant challenge for real time simulation fidelity. This is especially true for high switching frequency DC-DC converter applications (e.g. Dual Active Bridge (DAB)) where power transfer is carried out at high frequencies. In some applications, even a 500ns simulation step with time resolution
enhancement is not fast enough to avoid major simulation errors.
However, HIL404 is so much more than just a faster HIL402 tuned for very-high frequency applications.
It is a device from the same family of Typhoon HIL products, yet packed to the brim with latest technology that brings many advanced features of our industrial grade 6-series devices to the
4-series, such as:
- Nonlinear machine modeling.
- < 3.5 ns GDS oversampling on all Digital Inputs.
- < Up to 4 cores FPGA processor configurations.
- < Accurate real-time converter power losses simulation.
- < Extended connectivity with out-of-the-box support for CAN, RS232, USB 3.0, ETH protocols, including device paralleling support.

HIL Microgrid Testbed
Controller Hardware in the Loop testing of Microgrid Control Systems
Solar and wind power generation, as well as battery storage, are all part of today’s microgrids. Together with protective relays, communication networks and microgrid controllers they are complex power systems that need thorough testing and verification before their safe and reliable operation can be guaranteed in all operating conditions.
Distribution grids are undergoing rapid transformation that is fueled by introduction of intermittent and distributed power sources and by extensive application of information and communication technologies.
Such transformation brings opportunities to make the distribution grid more resilient and more flexible. At the same time, it needs advanced testing tools to ensure the acceptable cost of quality.
What is a HIL Microgrid Testbed?
A Microgrid Testbed is a collection of HIL devices with integrated protection relays, microgrid controllers and controllers of solar inverters, battery inverters, diesel gensets, fuel cells, etc.
The main purpose of the Microgrid Testbed is to comprehensively test and validate primary and secondary control, communications and protection under all operating conditions including faults in both the islanded and grid-tied mode.
Moreover, Microgrid Testbed can perform all its tests and generate its test reports in the fully automatic mode, thus boosting the productivity and improving test coverage even further.
How does the C-HIL Microgrid Testbed work?
HIL Microgrid Testbed has an identical control system as a real microgrid, only the power hardware is digitized within the HIL devices.
High fidelity models of DER and distribution system hardware, comprising smart inverter hardware, PV panels, batteries, transformers, generators, switches, cables, active and passive loads etc. are simulated on ultra-low latency Microgrid testbed with time steps as low as 500ns.
Smart inverter controllers control the operation of smart inverter models, while relays control the protective switches and microgrid controllers provide the overall supervisory control.

A new benchmark in protection testing
HIL Microgrid Testbed allows you to connect and communicate with your actual hardware relays.
With Typhoon HIL API and Python scripts, you can fully automate testing against short circuits, phase losses, overvoltage’s, low and over voltage ride troughs and component failures.
Furthermore, HIL Microgrid Testbed allows you to conduct a sensitivity analysis of the whole network in real-time. With protection relays and all control components being real, and with the unparalleled accuracy of Typhoon HIL’s industry-proven advanced numerical modelling algorithms, you can validate microgrid models in the early stage of development.
Multi-rate execution
HIL building blocks in your HIL Microgrid Testbed can be configured independently and on-the-fly.
Each HIL604 building block in your HIL Microgrid Testbed can be configured independently of the others and each HIL building block can be assigned a specific part of the circuit. Every HIL604 can perform either as a 1μs resolution ultra-high-fidelity simulator for the highly dynamic parts of your network or as a 10μs time-step simulator for the less dynamic parts of it.
This allows you to customize and optimize your simulation any way you like and make the best use of the processing power available in your HIL Microgrid Testbed.
Scalability: power in the numbers
The modular Microgrid Testbed allows your microgrid model to grow in size. Simply daisy-chain HIL simulators and run them in parallel when you need to model large microgrids.
Whether you need to model a single customer microgrid, a partial feeder microgrid, a full feeder microgrid or even a full substation microgrid, you can rely on the Typhoon HIL Microgrid Testbed to get the job done.
Supporting all major communication protocols
Integrating different protocols allows you to easily optimize your microgrid control software algorithms for integration with the existing substation communication protocols.
Given that each HIL simulator in the Microgrid Testbed can interface with a number of different hardware controllers and given its communication capabilities, Typhoon HIL Microgrid Testbed can also be used as a backend for other forms of testing.
For example, your Microgrid Testbed can be the bedrock for smart grid security testing in real-life conditions where different controllers interact with the grid as they are subject to testing of penetration impact on the operation of an entire microgrid, relevant substations or even the grid as a whole.
Full P-HIL Capabilities
P-HIL is the expansion of the C-HIL Microgrid testbed that allows testing with power.
Adding high-bandwidth power amplifiers makes it possible to test grid-tied converters and their interaction with the virtual grid components by establishing a high-speed high-fi¬delity feedback loop with the main Microgrid Testbed, enabling a 360° testing of any power electronics device.
The main purpose of P-HIL Microgrid Testbed is to comprehensively test the entire converter or inverter in a wide variety of tests scenarios that can be found in the real life.

Interfaces de Connexions HIL
True plug and play interface
Directly interface your controller to the HIL emulator
To completely test, verify, and certify your power electronics controller in hardware-in-the-loop configuration it is critical that the controller under test is not modified in any way. Controller has to “feel” that it is controlling the real converter hardware, meaning that all the current/voltage/optical I/O interfaces have to behave as the real power stage signals. All the interface signals have to be provided by HIL and impedances and signal levels have to be matched.
Our engineers refined their immense power electronics industry experience into Connect interface system to support all major types of connectors, from terminal blocks to BNCs. Because of this, you can connect your controller to the emulator with the exact same cables that you would use in reality.
Measurement subsystem emulation
To enable direct connection of unaltered controller IO signals to the emulator, the HIL Connect device conditions and transduces IO signals (i.e. shifts voltage, converts voltage to current, voltages to light etc.).
With the HIL Connect, your controller will “feel” like it’s interfaced to LEM sensors, relays and contactors, and any sensor you can imagine.

Carte de Calibration HIL
Keep your HIL running in top shape
Automatically calibrate analog I/O in-house
Plug the Calibration Card into your HIL and it will precisely measure all analog input and output channel’s offset and gain errors to keep your HIL devices operating at their highest level of performance.
In the background, as a first step, your HIL device will test analog inputs by measuring the Calibration Card voltage references. In the next step, analog outputs are tested via analog inputs, so, once everything is complete, you can be sure that you HIL is performing as intended.
As a confirmation that HIL is up to spec, you get a Calibration Report.
