Studies in power hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulation using real-time digital simulator (RTDS)

In power hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulations, a real-time simulated power system is interfaced to a piece of hardware, usually called hardware under test (HuT). A PHIL test can be realized using several simulation tools. Among them Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) is an ideal tool to perform complex power system simulations in near real-time. Stable operation of the entire system, along with the accuracy of simulation results are the main concerns regarding a PHIL simulation. In this paper, a simulated power network on RTDS will be interfaced to HuT through a voltage source converter (VSC). Issues around stability and other interface problems are studied and a new method to stabilize some unstable PHIL cases is proposed. PHIL simulation results in PSCAD and RSCAD are presented.

Marx as a Critical Discourse Analyst : The Genesis of a Critical Method and its Relevance to the Critique of Global Capital (with Phil Graham)

In this paper we identify elements in Marx’s economic and political writings that are relevant to contemporary critical discourse analysis (CDA). We argue that Marx can be seen to be engaging in a form of discourse analysis. We identify the elements in Marx’s historical materialist method that support such a perspective, and exemplify these in longitudinal comparison of Marx’s texts.

Stability synthesis of power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulation

A virtual power system can be interfaced with a physical system to form a power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulation. In this scheme, the virtual system can be simulated in a fast parallel processor to provide near real-time outputs, which then can be interfaced to a physical hardware that is called the hardware under test (HuT). Stable operation of the entire system, while maintaining acceptable accuracy, is the main challenge of a PHIL simulation. In this paper, after an extended stability analysis for voltage and current type interfaces, some guidelines are provided to have a stable PHIL simulation. The presented analysis have been evaluated by performing several experimental tests using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS™) and a voltage source converter (VSC). The practical test results are consistent with the proposed analysis.

Letter to Isabel from Phil [Phil Ingram Price]

Letter to Isabel from Phil [Phil Ingram Price] in which he expresses a desire to divide the estate with as little delay as possible. He has divided the books into 4 lots, but he asks if Isabel has some of the books as they are missing, March 28, 1900.
