Abstract

This paper presents the Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) evaluation of a diesel generator controller for various microgrid operation modes. The model of the diesel generator (governor, exciter, and primary control) is simulated in real time, and the secondary control is implemented in a real hardware controller, Woodward easYgen, which is tested via CHIL with different microgrid configurations under microgrid transition operations. The experimental results demonstrate that the control settings and configuration of the Woodward controller work correctly for different microgrids under microgrid transition operations, which provides confidence for site commissioning.
