Abstract:
The paper discusses source of error in the Controller Hardware-in-loop (CHIL) simulation of a physical Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) interfaced to the simulation of a Line-commutated Converter based HVdc transmission system. Sources of error investigated included interface delays, dc offsets and finite precision of A/D and D/A converters. In addition to actual CHIL simulation, an off-line EMT model was developed to model the simulation process itself by developing EMT models of interface equipment such as D/A and A/D converters. The results show that for the CHIL simulation of a PLL, a major factor affecting accuracy of the steady state quantities was the finite precision of the D/A and A/D converters, whereas delays and offsets in the expected range had marginal impact.
