The Industrial Applications Society (IAS) and Power Electronics Society (PELS) chapters in the IEEE Montreal Section cordially invite you to a technical seminar presented by Dr. Wei Li, Power System Simulation Specialist with OPAL-RT Technologies. Please register using the link provided below.

Seminar Abstract

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) technology has significant advantages. Recently a few MMC projects were commissioned around the world. Due to the lack of engineering experience and the complexity of MMC control, it is important for manufacturers to validate their controllers, and to validate for all possible scenarios using a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bench before they are commissioned in the field. This presentation explains the challenges of an HIL test bench for a complicated MMC system and the solutions provided by OPAL-RT Technologies. The capabilities of the test bench for fast or real time digital simulation, and rapid control prototyping (RCP) study of power girds and renewable energies with power electronic devices are also covered.
