Safe, renewable sources of energy, like solar and wind power, are gaining popularity due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. However, renewable energy is also often dependent on prevailing weather conditions, leading to a sporadic and unpredictable energy supply, which creates power quality issues for both users and providers of electrical power. This difficulty can be overcome by developing low voltage microgrid infrastructures that can interface directly with distributed renewable energy sources and employ smart control mechanisms to regulate the efficient use and stability of the available power in the grid.***There are challenges to the design and evaluation of an intelligent microgrid. There are no appropriate simulators to simulate power and communication devices at the same time. And it is well-known that there is also a large technology gap that lies between simulation and practical systems, as there are a lot of non-ideal components in power apparatuses. A Power-Electronics-based Power-Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) platform can help to overcome these challenges by providing a semi-physical system for evaluation of novel microgrid designs. Physical (not simulated) components, like power apparatuses and communication devices, could then be incorporated in a test microgrid, which would perform like an actual mircogrid installation. Energy availability from weather sources and the external grid infrastructure (e.g. medium voltage public grid networks) can be fully controlled and simulated by computers, and their responses converted and amplified by power electronics interfaces. Actual interactions of the microgrid with these external power sources will be simulated in a way that will provide superior evaluations of power quality and grid stability. The power will cycle between the PHIL platform and the GUT, which will provide high efficiency for prolonged periods of evaluation.***A 30kVA PHIL system with a Microgrid under test will be constructed to run in a Lab environment. The complete evaluation platform will be small, efficient, practical, accurate and fully controllable for changing environmental data and external grid operations. The PHIL platform will bridge the technical gap between theoretical simulation and practical applications in a Lab environment. The proposed program will train 10 HQP (2 Ph.D., 3 M.Sc. and 5 USRA), they will gain experience and generate new knowledge of power electronics and power systems. The proposed system will facilitate technology and business development for both real time simulation platform manufacturers and microgrid providers in Canada. Furthermore, Canadian research centres and power apparatus manufacturers will have a cost-effective, compact, fully controllable, reliable PHIL simulator to evaluate emerging grids and power apparatuses for future small grids applications. **

安全，可再生能源（如太阳能和风力发电），由于它们有可能减少温室气体排放和对化石燃料的依赖的潜力，因此变得越来越受欢迎。但是，可再生能源通常还取决于盛行的天气条件，从而导致零星且不可预测的能源供应，这为用户和电力提供者都带来了电力质量问题。 可以通过开发低压微电网基础架构来克服这一难度，这些基础设施可以直接与分布式可再生能源接口，并采用智能控制机制来调节网格中可用功率的有效使用和稳定性。没有适当的模拟器可以同时模拟电源和通信设备。众所周知，在模拟和实用系统之间也存在一个大技术差距，因为功率设备中有很多非理想组件。基于电力电力的电力硬件（PHIL）平台可以通过提供一种半物理系统来评估新型微电网设计，从而克服这些挑战。然后可以将物理（未模拟的）组件（例如功率设备和通信设备）纳入测试微电网中，该测试的微电网可以像实际的mircogrid安装一样执行。天气来源和外部网格基础设施（例如中型电压公共网格网络）的能源可利用性可以通过计算机完全控制和模拟，并且它们的响应通过电源电子接口转换和放大。微电网与这些外部功率来源的实际相互作用将以一种对功率质量和网格稳定性的评估的方式进行模拟。 Phil平台和肠道之间的功率将循环，这将在长时间的评估期内提供高效率。完整的评估平台将是小型，高效，实用，准确且完全可控制的，可用于更改环境数据和外部网格操作。 Phil平台将在实验室环境中弥合理论模拟与实际应用之间的技术差距。拟议的计划将培训10个HQP（2博士学位，3 M.Sc和5 USRA），他们将获得经验并获得有关电力电子和电力系统的新知识。拟议的系统将促进加拿大的实时模拟平台制造商和微电网提供商的技术和业务开发。此外，加拿大研究中心和电力设备制造商将拥有成本效益，紧凑，完全可靠，可靠的Phil Simulator，以评估未来的小型网格应用程序的新兴网格和功率设备。 **
