The hybrid simulation concept consisting of a combination of computer simulation and laboratory tests. This approach is a cost effective alternative to physically testing the whole system and allows better understanding of complex coupled systems. This paper describes implementing an active power filter (APF) hybrid prototype where the source system and load are implemented as a real-time simulation and the system of static power converter acting as an active power filter is implemented in physical hardware. It also confirmed the hybrid simulation results by implementing the simulation in MATLAB-Simulink regarding the same system implemented during the active power filter analysis and design stage.
El concepto de simulación hibrida consiste en la combinación de simulaciones por computador y pruebas de laboratorio físicas. Este enfoque es una alternativa rentable a las pruebas físicas de todo un sistema, y permite la mejor comprensión de los complejos sistemas acoplados. Este artículo describe la implementación de un prototipo híbrido de filtro activo de potencia (APF), donde se implementa el sistema de fuente y la carga en simulación en tiempo real, y el sistema de convertidor de energía estática que actúa como filtro activo de potencia se implementa en hardware. Además, se confirman los resultados de simulación híbrida con la implementación de la simulación numérica en MATLAB-Simulink del mismo sistema implementado en la etapa de análisis y diseño del filtro activo de potencia.
