Abstract
This first chapter provides an introduction to the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) approach and Typhoon HIL, in particular, including a brief overview of its history, achievements, and vision. Real-time simulation challenges are introduced. Throughout the chapter, key technological aspects and functionalities behind the Typhoon HIL toolchain are discussed, highlighting how this seamlessly integrated solution enables the creation of high-fidelity models for hardware-in-the-loop-based real-time simulations and performs automated tests for dynamic and complex systems that go from single high switching frequency power electronics converters to larger microgrid systems.
