title = "Use of Power Hardware-in-the-Loop and Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop to De-Risk the Use Of Grid-Forming Fuel Cell Inverters in Microgrids",
abstract = "Microgrids continue to proliferate, particularly those that rely on inverter-based resources as the microgrid's voltage and frequency leader. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations can de-risk microgrid deployments, and therefore we need power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) interfaces for grid-forming (GFM) inverters to enable simulations of seamless transitions between islanded and grid-connected operation. Such interfaces are particularly challenging when the inverters need to switch modes, i.e., between grid-following (GFL) and GFM as the microgrid transitions between grid-connected and islanded operation. This presentation shows the use of PHIL interfaces for such microgrids and the preliminary experimental results.",
