The subsystem consists of three areas as shown in figure 2:

  • The grayarea is for receiving data from the simulator and monitoring the signals

  • The blue area labeled as “Inverters controlis used to control the simulated model or the test bench, adjust the DC reference voltage, and enable/disable the inverter control signals that are sent to the simulator.

  • The orange area presents important notes regarding the test instruction

...

  • The OpComm” block receives the signals sent from the SC_Offline_User_Interface subsystem.

  • The gray area simulates the inverter DC-link using SimPowerSystems’ universal IGBT bridge.

  • The blue area labeled “OP8219 and OP8662 IO Interface” is used to transfer data between the target and the OP8662 unit as well as the OP8219.

  • The DC bus control block diagram labeled as “DC-link Voltage Regulation” in the yellow area is shown in figure 4.
    A PI-based cascaded voltage and current controller is developed in this area to control the three-phase currents of the inverter based on the desired voltage of the DC link.

...

  • Make sure that the phase voltages of the grid are properly connected to a corresponding input terminal of the inverter (A-to-A, B-to-B, and C-to-C).
    The phases can be distinguished using an oscilloscope.
    A Mismatch between the sequence of the phases applied to the inverter leads to the trip of the inverter when the GSC controller is activated.

  • Launch RT-LAB.

  • Import the model zip file (see below) in RT-LAB.

  • Build, load, and execute the model.

  • Ensure the Lab volt power supply unit 8525 is powered on and the voltmeter’s selection knob is set to AC 4-5.

  • Ensure the 8509 resistive load is switched off.

  • Increase the variable voltage knob to set the AC line voltage level to 55 Vrms.

  • Select the source or “Reference Control” (figure 12):

    • 1: The model will run a simulation of a DC-bus control.

    • 3: The model will control the Festo hardware to regulate a DC-bus.

...

Based on the preceding tests, the hardware and software included in Festo models are declared fully functional and compliant with OPAL-RT specifications.
