Development of Hardware Simulator for Operation Analysis of DC Microgrid

DC 마이크로그리드의 동작분석을 위한 하드웨어 시뮬레이터 개발

This paper describes the development of hardware simulator for the operation analysis of DC microgrid, which has a wind power, solar power and fuel cell as a distributed generation, and a supercapacitor and battery as an energy storage. A detailed simulation model for the DC microgrid was developed for operation analysis. Based on simulation results a hardware simulator was built in the lab for the purpose of operation analysis. The developed hardware simulator can be utilized to evaluate with practical manner the performance of actual microgrid in the field.
