Abstract
This paper describes the Power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) architecture
and capacities of the CoSES laboratory at TU Munich. The lab brings
together renewable resources, flexible grid topologies, fully
controllable prosumer emulators, a real-time control environment, and an
API access for external connection to the lab. The electrical and
control design of the lab allows for sophisticated PHIL experiments with
an user-friendly implementation. Two experiments are included, to
validate the PHIL performance and demonstrate the use of PHIL
infrastructure to investigate an OPF algorithm.
