DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nPower Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulations combine a r
 eal-time simulator with a power amplifier to establish a closed-loop inter
 face between a virtual environment and actual power hardware. This approac
 h enables rigorous and comprehensive testing of the power hardware\, under
  realistic operating conditions. PHIL provides a safe\, flexible\, and cos
 t-effective alternative to traditional testing methods that may involve ri
 sk\, complexity\, or limited scalability.\n\nThe presentation will highlig
 ht several application domains that have benefited from PHIL implementatio
 n. Within the energy storage industry\, PHIL facilitates detailed cells\, 
 stack\, and pack emulation for the development and validation of battery m
 anagement systems\, chargers\, and hybrid energy systems. In microgrid res
 earch\, PHIL plays a critical role in verifying distributed energy resourc
 es (DERs) against evolving standards such as IEEE 1547-2018. Complex micro
 grids where interaction of multiple DERs need to be studied\, benefits gre
 atly from PHIL. PHIL has also become an indispensable tool in e-mobility a
 pplications\, including motor emulation\, traction inverter validation\, a
 nd on-board charger testing—significantly expanding test coverage while 
 reducing development time and cost.\n\nTo conclude\, this webinar will exp
 lore two use-cases in two distinct applications domains of PHIL. The first
  would be a PHIL implementation of a Hybrid AC-DC microgrid system. With f
 ocus on its utility in piecewise integration of large microgrids\, and for
  cyber physical studies. The second use-case would be the use of PHIL for 
 compressor motor emulation and its utility in compressor drive inverter te
 sting.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDr. Amitkumar heads the ‘PHIL Applicatio
 ns and Solutions Division’ at OPAL-RT\, a company specializing in real-t
 ime and PHIL solutions for complex power systems.\n\nAmitkumar received hi
 s PhD from Concordia University in 2020\, on PHIL based emulation of elect
 rical machines. He has close to 10 years of experience in PHIL systems of 
 various applicative domains\, ranging from microgrid systems to motor driv
 e systems.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/513023
