I have applied a new application on excitation of a generator. The simulation is carried out on Matlab environment. But the question is: regarding to the application is applied within excitation system ( it means the applied controller is local and destination factor is not a concern.) using Real Time simulation could be an advantage to enrich research or no?
The simulation you are doing in real time to the case off line is very good because besides try everything you want plus you can have a set of data used when you do physical testing of systems, ie the simulation results let you have some data to compare the results with those obtained in real time but online.
Real-time simulation is required for three application:
-Hardware In the Loop (HIL) where you have the controller and the plant is simulated.
-Rapid Controller Prototyping (RCP) where you have the plant and the controller is simulated
- Fast simulation where model is simulated on an expensive hardware. (useful when there is 1000 of test to be done)
In your case, I would implement your new control algorithm in a real DSP, and simulate in real-time the excitation and generator. Doing so you could do harsh test and verify the behavior of a real/implemented converter.
If only simulation is done, without using any real hardware, it is hard to justify the use of real-time simulator.
I agree with Luc-Andre Gregoire because all simulation must be corroborated with actual data, it is most important, then perform simulations and real-time experience with simulation object
