Registrations are open for Short-term Course on Real Time Simulation for Power Electronics and Power Systems Applications by NIT Jamshedpur on 21-25 August 2023. The last date of registration is 19 August.

About the Course

This short-term course is specially designed and framed taking into account the recent trends of state-of-the-art of real-time Hardware-in-the loop simulation concepts and technologies that are used for the analysis, design, and testing of different power electronics converters and power system networks and also their related apparatus.

This short-term course focuses on the main problems in modeling accuracy, system bandwidth and stability, limitations on communication interface and energy interface. Particularly the course describes the main building blocks of the real-time simulator, i.e., hardware, software, input-output systems, modeling, and solution techniques, interfacing capabilities to external hardware and various applications.

Preferably, this course covers the more significant type real-time digital simulators like OPAL-RT, D-SPACE, Typhoon Hill which are in generally used both in industry and academia. The course is applicable for students and researchers from power electronics and power system area who want to do research in fast growing and cutting edge technologies. Also, it will be suitable for engineering professionals from academia, R&D organizations as well as industries.

Course Content

  • Numerical methods: explicit and implicit methods; offline simulation of simple circuits.
  • Power converters, apparatus and networks: dc-dc converters, voltage source inverter, synchronous machine, transformer, transmission line, single machine infinite bus system, IEEE 3generator system.
  • Review of continuous-time models of power converters, apparatus and networks; discrete-time modeling of power elements and networks
  • Educational real-time simulator (OPAL-RT, D-SPACE, Typhoon Hill): Introduction and overview; architecture and system organization; examples of subsystem hardware and firmware; programming environment
