Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach to characterize the stability of a power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) platform, an important step in PHIL tests. Many existing works focus the stability assessments on the PHIL interface algorithm; however, this work considers all software and hardware subsystems that form the closed loop of the PHIL experiment and develops a complete closed-loop stability assessment. This assessment is developed in the context of a common framework that can be readily applied to other PHIL platforms. This paper presents methods for characterizing key PHIL subsystems toward obtaining transfer functions to be used for analysis. The systematic stability assessment approach is demonstrated for a case study involving PHIL testing of a solar inverter and validated using experimental data.
