碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電機工程系 === 101 === A real time simulator can be classified into three types, rapid control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop, and software-in-the-loop simulation. A hardware-in-the-loop system consists of a simulated plant interacting with an actual controller. A rapid control prototyping system consists of an actual plant interacting with a simulated controller. Software-in-the-loop system is made of a simulated plant interacting with a simulated controller. This thesis propose a Hardware-in-the-loop(HIL) simulation of D-STATCOM and APF. The experiment structure combines the LabVIEW platform, which is the controller, and RTDS, which provides the experiment plant of HIL. The controller include, DC voltage regulator, phase-locked-loop(PLL), power factor correction, harmonic compensation and current controller. The experiment is completed by utilizing the LabVIEW RTOS as the kernel controller, FPGA as the data acquisition interface, and build D-STATCOM and APF circuit in RTDS. The results are compared with those obtained from the offline simulation via PSCAD/EMTDC to show the validity of the proposed method. This platform can serve as a benchmark for testing hardware-in-the-loop simulation for the advanced controllers.
