Real-Time Industrial Medium-Voltage Synchronous Motor Drive Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop

This paper outlines an industrial application of a real-time Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) validation and troubleshooting of a medium-voltage (MV) GE Rotating Machine synchronous motor fed by a GE Power Conversion MV 3-level Neutral-Point-Piloted (NPP) variable frequency drive. The simulation results are compared to actual site performance and internal motor test reports.
