Abstract

DC microgrid systems are recently utilized in power systems, and the significance of solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) is paramount due to the absence of zero-crossing current in DC systems. Moreover, the coordination of a DC grid poses a challenge for these systems, primarily due to safety concerns. Consequently, the design of a test platform for monitoring the system's behavior in challenging situations holds significant importance. This paper presents an examination of a DC microgrid through a novel, easy to implement, and cost-effective controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) test platform designed using the MATLAB/ Simulink software and Python code. To evaluate the proposed platform, three test scenarios involving short circuits in different locations are investigated. The extracted CHIL results for each scenario is presented.
