Latha, A.H.Shubhanga, K.N.2026-02-062014Proceeding of the IEEE International Conference on Green Computing, Communication and Electrical Engineering, ICGCCEE 2014, 2014, Vol., , p. -https://doi.org/10.1109/ICGCCEE.2014.6922449https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/32533This paper presents the Hardware-In-The-Loop type simulation, where an analog power system stabilizer (PSS) is connected in closed loop with a real-time virtual synchronous generator. The synchronous generator along with its excitation controller is simulated in real-time using Real-Time Application Interface (RTAI) on Linux. Forward Euler numerical integration technique with a suitable step-size has been employed for obtaining the solution of the generator model differential equations. The PSS hardware is interfaced with the virtual synchronous generator using a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card and the simulation results are captured on the oscilloscope. The real-time simulations are also validated using off-line MATLAB simulations. This setup demonstrates different aspects of realtime simulation and a laboratory-oriented Hardware-In-The-Loop simulation. © 2014 IEEE.LinuxPower system stabilizerReal-time simulationThe hardware-in-the-loop testing
