  • A power management system (PMS) has been an important part in a ship integrated control system. To evaluate a PMS for a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC), this research proposes a real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS), which is composed of major component models such as turbine generator, diesel generator, governor, circuit breaker, and 3-phase loads on MATLAB/Simulink. In addition, FPGA based control console and main switchboard (MSBD) are constructed in order to develop an efficient control and a similar real environment in an LNGC PMS. A comparative study on the performance evaluation of PMS functions is conducted using two test cases for sharing electric power to consumers in an LNGC. The result shows that the proposed system has a high verification capability for the operating function and failure insertion evaluation as a PMS simulator.

  • Security awareness and training are becoming more important as cyber security incidents tend to increase in industrial control systems, including nuclear power plants. For effective cyber security awareness and training for the personnel who manage and operate the target facility, a TEST-BED is required that can analyze the impact of cyber attacks from the sensor level to the operation status of the nuclear power plant. In this paper, we have developed an HIL system for nuclear power plant cyber security training. It includes nuclear power plant status simulations and specific system status simulation together with physical devices. This research result will be used for the specialized cyber security training program for Korean nuclear facilities.

  • Advances in FPGA technology have enabled fast real-time simulation of power converters, filters and loads. FPGA based HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) simulators have revolutionized control hardware and software development for power electronics. Common time step sizes in the order of 100ns are sufficient for simulating switching frequency current and voltage ripples. In order to keep the time step as small as possible, ideal switching function models are often used to simulate the phase legs. This often produces inferior results when simulating the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and disabled operational states. Therefore, the corresponding measurement and protection units cannot be tested properly. This paper describes a new solution for this problem utilizing a discrete-time PI controller. The PI controller simulates the proper DC and low frequency AC components of the phase leg voltage during disabled operation. It also retains the advantage of fast real-time execution of switch-based models when an accurate simulation of high frequency junction capacitor oscillations is not necessary.

  • Lane Keeping Assistant Systems (LKAS) require the cooperative operation between drivers and active steering angle/torque controllers. An LKAS is proposed in this study such that the desired reference path generation (DRPG) system generates the desired path to minimize the trajectory overshoot. Based on the reference path from the DRPG system, an optimal controller is designed to minimize the cost function. A HIL (Hardware In the Loop) simulator is constructed to evaluate the proposed LKAS system. The single camera is mounted on the simulator and acquires the monitor images to detect lane markers. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated by HIL system using the Carsim and the Matlab Simulink.

  • This paper presents the design of an active roll control system for a ground vehicle and an experimental study using an devised electric-actuating roll control system. Based on a three degree of freedom linear vehicle model, the controller is designed using lateral acceleration and rollrate feedback. In order to investigate the feasibility of an active control system, experimental work is carried out using a hardware-in-the-loop (Hil) setup which has been constructed by the devised electric-actuating system and the full vehicle model including tire characteristics. The performance is evaluated by an experiment using the Hil setup with limited bandwidth. Finally, in order to enhance the control performance in the transient region, a hybrid control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

  • In this paper, a design method of the simulation program for HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation) system is proposed. The present method consists of definition of requirements for HILS, development of specifications, and implementation of the program to satisfy the specifications. In the implementation of the program, the application of hardware interface and the concept of structural modularization are proposed to satisfy the specifications. The concepts of CSCI(Computer Software Configuration Item) and encapsulation are used for structural modularization. The proposed method was practically applied to the development of the simulation program for the efficient operation in HILS of an anti-ship missile system.

  • HILS(Hardware-ln-the-Loop Simulation) is a scheme that incorporates hardware components of primary concern in the numerical simulation environment. Due to its advantages over actual vehicle test and pure simulation, HILS is being widely accepted in automotive industries as test benches for vehicle control units. Developed in this study is a HILS system for VDC(Vehicle Dynamics Control) with a valve control system that modulates the brake pressures at low wheels. Two VDC control logics were developed and tested in the HILS system. Test results under various driving conditions are presented in this paper.
