We are excited to announce that L2EP, in collaboration with Opal-RT and AMTalents, is co-organizing an exclusive advanced training session:
Real-Time Simulation: a key enabler for the practical control design of Grid-Forming controlled power electronic converters
👉 Training Overview:
The proposed training provides a comprehensive approach to designing and implementing controller for grid-connected power electronic converters with a special focus on Grid-Forming control application.
Participants will explore the methodology for control design, progressing from offline simulation to real implementation, highlighting also Real-Time Simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop techniques. The course covers automatic code generation for microcontrollers, ensuring seamless deployment of control algorithms. Additionally, key controller tuning principles will be reviewed to enhance practical understanding.
A specific focus will be placed on grid-forming converters, increasingly used in applications such as renewable energy integration and energy storage systems. Practical aspects, including converter control, startup sequences and protection mechanisms, will be addressed through lab experiments on a small-scale converter.
This training is ideal for engineers and researchers looking to bridge the gap between simulation and hardware implementation in modern power electronics.
Nb: Some materials will also be given on Grid-Following control but not practically implemented. The participants will receive Open models on Simulink (off-line and real-time) and codes of all the designed regulations.
