Abstract
Real-time simulation programs and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems have been increasingly used in electrical engineering, each one with its own peculiarities. The company Typhoon HIL Inc. has software and hardware for HIL simulations. The complexity of the network, for example when there are multiple power converters, influences the modelling. Hardware model also impacts the circuit configuration. Therefore, depending on the complexity, it is necessary for the user to partition the circuit. Furthermore, the division into subcircuits tends to cause conflicts between elements, demanding the configuration of snubbers. In this context, the present work aims to present a modeling in the Typhoon HIL software, using as an example a network containing a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), demonstrating a methodology for the correct functioning of the circuit and as a preparation for its use on a HIL system. In addition, an evaluation of the interference of the configured snubbers is performed.
