The aim of the lecture is to deliver comprehensive knowledge on advanced simulation and testing methods for modern power systems, covering both theoretical aspects and practical applications. After completing the lecture, students can independently design and implement complex simulations and hardware testbeds for testing modern components in power systems, such as Battery Storage Systems, EV-charging stations, and power converters. Students will also learn to apply innovative testing methods and select the appropriate tools and devices for specific requirements.

• Real-time simulation of power systems
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and testing
• Controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL)
• Power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL)
• Electrical design of low-voltage laboratory testbeds
• Praxis-relevant applications of modern testing
