Real-time simulation of induction machine plays a crucial role in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) scenarios. Due to the key advantages offered by magnetic equivalent circuits (MEC) for modeling induction machines compared with finite element analysis and electric equivalent circuits in terms of computational expense and achieved accuracy, this paper proposes a real-time nonlinearMECof the induction machine. Themodel is emulated in real time on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) by exploiting the parallel hardware architecture and fully pipelined arithmetic processing. The performance of the FPGA-based real-time emulated induction machine model is investigated and compared with the behavior of an experimental setup of induction machine and finite element results to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of proposed approach for HIL applications.

This article presents an application of the adaptive control method to semi-active suspension systems in the presence of unknown disturbance and parametric uncertainty. Due to the technical difficulties such as time delay and sensor noise, the road disturbance is assumed to be unmeasured. To overcome this problem, an observer is designed to estimate the disturbance. It is considered that the road profile consists of a finite number of the sum of sinusoidal signals with unknown amplitudes, phases and frequencies. After the parametrization of the observer, the adaptive control approach is employed to attenuate the effect of the road-induced vibrations using a magnetorheological damper. It is proved that the closed-loop system is stable, despite the adverse road conditions. Finally, the performance of the controller is illustrated with a hardware-in-the-loop simulation in which the system is subjected to sinusoidal and random profile road excitations. To demonstrate the benefits of the adaptive controller, the results are presented in comparison with a conventional proportional integral derivative (PID) controller.

hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) is a type of real-time simulation test that is different from a pure real-time simulation test due to a real component added to the loop. Since HIL includes numerical and physical components, a transfer system is required to link these parts. The transfer system typically consists of a set of actuators and sensors. In order to get accurate test results, the transfer system dynamic effects need to be mitigated. The fuel control unit (FCU) is an electrohydraulic component of the fuel control system in gas turbine engines. Investigation of FCU performance through HIL technique requires the numerical model of other related parts, such as the jet engine and the designed electronic control unit. In addition, a transfer system is employed to link the FCU hardware and the numerical model. The objective of this study was to implement the HIL simulation of the FCU. To get accurate simulation results, the inverse and polynomial compensation techniques were proposed to compensate time delays resulting from inherent dynamics of the transfer system. Finally, the results obtained by applying both of the methods were compared.

We present in the paper the design of a hardware-in-the-loop simulation framework and its actual implementation on our custom constructed unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) helicopter systems. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation is one of the most effective methods for the verification of the overall control performance and safety of the UAVs before conducting actual flight tests. In our proposed framework, four modules, which include onboard hardware, flight control, ground station and software, are integrated together to realize the hardware-in-the-loop simulation. This design is successfully utilized for simulating several flight tests including basic flight motions, full-envelope flight and multiple UAV formation flight. Results obtained show that the constructed hardware-in-the-loop simulation system is highly effective and useful. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) contact simulation for flying objects in space is challenging due to the divergence caused by the time delay. In this study, a divergence compensation approach is proposed for the stiffness-varying discrete contact. The dynamic response delay of the motion simulator and the force measurement delay are considered. For the force measurement delay, a phase lead based force compensation approach is used. For the dynamic response delay of the motion simulator, a response error based force compensation approach is used, where the compensation force is obtained from the real-time identified contact stiffness and real-time measured position response error. The dynamic response model of the motion simulator is not required. The simulations and experiments show that the simulation divergence can be compensated effectively and satisfactorily by using the proposed approach. (C) 2016 IAA. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Modern traffic signal control systems provide Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP), which provides the right-of-way to emergency vehicles in preference to other vehicles. Traffic engineers should select the best coordination recovery strategy at the end of the preemption in order to minimize any resulting disruptions. This paper compares the various EVP methods available with a controller used in the USA. The comparison was conducted in an urban corridor including four coordinated-actuated signals using a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS), which consisted of a well-calibrated VISSIM microscopic simulation model and four Type 170 controllers. The examined preemption strategies included shortway and dwell with different numbers of cycles for transition completion. The results of the comparison indicated that the resulting impact on the network-wide and intersection-specific performances varied with the selected EVP method. The results also indicated that the EVP function using a shortway transition method with two or three cycles worked the best, as it could minimize the impacts of EVP.

Soft landing, defined as a controlled and gentle touchdown which prevents any damage, is a crucial phase of planetary landing modules and vertical take-off and landing aircraft. This paper discusses the soft landing of a hybrid rocket-thruster-powered platform using a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) framework. The concept of a hybrid rocket thruster-powered platform was conceived as part of a system development study aimed at bringing out an effective propulsion unit for achieving VTOL in aircraft and UAVs. To simplify the scope of the preliminary investigation, the platform's movement was restricted to vertical translation. The hardware-in-the-loop simulation setup integrates a lab-scale hybrid rocket thruster in the hardware module with the simulated platform dynamics model. A control algorithm was implemented to regulate/tweak the real-time hardware-the thruster-to enable the simulated model of the platform to track a predefined descent velocity profile. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller regulated the oxidiser valve opening, controlling the oxidiser flow rate to the hybrid rocket motor and, consequently, the thrust to maintain the desired velocity profile of the platform during the descent. The hardware-in-the-loop simulation setup demonstrated a successful soft landing of the platform with a touchdown velocity of less than 1 m/s.

In the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation of the fuel control unit (FCU) for aero-engines, the back pressure has a great impact on the metered fuel, thus influencing the confidence of the simulation. During the practical working process of an aero-engine, the back pressure of the FCU is influenced by the combined effect of the pressure of the combustion chamber, the resistance of the spray nozzles, and the resistance of the distribution valve. There is a need to study the the mimicking technique of FCU back pressure. This paper models the fuel system of an aero-engine so as to reveal the impact of FCU back pressure on the metered fuel and come up with a scheme to calculate the equivalent FCU back pressure. After analyzing the requirements for mimicking the pressure, an automatic regulating facility is designed to adjust the FCU back pressure in real time. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify its performance. Results show that the mimicking technique of back pressure is well suited for application in HIL simulation. It is able to increase the confidence of the simulation and provide guidance to the implementation of mimicking the FCU back pressure.

We have investigated transient behavior of RE-123 coated conductors in fault current limiting operation based on experimental hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS). Fault current limiting function of superconducting electric power application is attractive to maximize the potential of power system;such a function can be realized by the transition to the resistive state of superconducting wire. However, the phenomena is relatively complicated: nonlinear current transport properties varying with time-dependent temperature rise. Furthermore, from practical point of view, the influence of spatially homogeneity of cooling and local critical current properties in RE-123 coated conductors must be clarified for reliable operation. To demonstrate this, we developed HILS system using real-time digital simulator. Fault current limiting operation was successfully demonstrated for dc electric railway system. This method enabled us to evaluate the real-time responses of RE-123 coated conductors such as nonlinear properties and thermal behaviors under a power grid network. In particular, we applied RE-123 coated conductors with spatially inhomogeneous cooling and local critical currents to the experiment to understand the influences of them on the fault current limiting and recovery functions. Furthermore, such transient phenomena were successfully described by an electrically and thermally coupled analysis taking into account of temperature dependent nonlinear transport properties of the RE-123 coated conductors based on the percolation transition model. The method and findings will become crucial for effective and reliable designs of superconducting fault current limiters.
