This paper proposes a methodology of delivering the emulation hardware of several step-down converter power stages. The generalized emulator design methodology follows these steps: first, the power stage is described using an ordinary differential equation system; second, the ordinary differential equation system is solved using Euler’s method, and thus an accurate time-domain model is obtained; next, this time-domain model can be described using either general-purpose programming language (MATLAB, C, etc.) or hardware description language (VHDL, Verilog, etc.). As a result, the emulator has been created; validation of the emulator may be carried out by comparing it to SPICE transient simulations. Finally, the validated emulator can be implemented on the preferred target technology, either in a general-purpose processor or a field programmable gate array. As the emulator relies on the ordinary differential equation system of the power stage, it has better behavioral accuracy than the emulators based on average state space models. Moreover, this paper also presents the design methodology of a manually tuned proportional–integrative–derivative controller deployed on a field programmable gate array.

This paper presents the design and construction stage of a low power wind turbine emulator, which is used at the laboratory level, to reproduce different wind profiles. There are several types of wind emulators, among which the wind tunnel emulators stand out. These emulators use a motor with a propeller on their axis to obtain the desired wind speed. However, in the present work -and done from a computer- speed control is developed for a three-phase induction motor, thus driving a permanent magnet generator. The motor-generator group is controlled through a program developed in the Labview software. Also, it has the particularity of operating automatically, being able to load different speed data. Such data is associated with a particular power that takes into account the selected wind profile and can operate through manual control of the wind speed. However, this depends on the frequency given. The emulator operation is validated experimentally through two scenarios: the first one emulates the curve presented by the Eolos turbine and subsequently compares the results obtained, whereas the second one loads the wind profile of Uribía-Guajira -a region in Colombia- achieving that the emulated wind profile can be accurately seen in the loaded wind profile.

In the last decades, researchers and scientists have been trending towards photovoltaic (PV) solar energy research as one of the noteworthy renewable energies. As a matter of fact, the need for a laboratory system devoted to performing measurements and experimentation on PV systems is being increased. The PV array emulator is designed to accomplish this task by reproducing accurately the electrical behavior of real PV sources. The present paper proposes thus a new control and design of PV array emulators. It is based essentially on a hybrid Damping Injection controller. The proposed control strategy circumvents obviously the existing PV emulator's limitations in terms of accuracy, speed and partial shading emulation. Several results are given and discussed to show the efficiency of the proposed system to emulate PV modules and different PV array configurations under uniform solar irradiance and partial shading conditions.

Applied tests on a real photovoltaic panel for a consolidated analysis require complex experiment setup and permanent availability of climatic conditions. This method is ineffective and can damage the PV system. As a result, PV emulators are highly requested in solar energy conversion and generation research, which rests essentially on a maximum power point tracking control algorithm (MPPT) and an adapting power stage as the DC-DC converter and PV inverter. The PV emulator guarantees a controllable light source environment to act as a real PV system in the laboratory. This paper deals with the study and development of an experimental PV emulator based on logarithmic approximation of the ideal single diode model (ISDM), which is implemented using analog electronic components. Mainly, the PV model, the controller, and the power stages, forming the PV emulator, are described. This simple, low-cost, and efficient device is considered as a nonlinear power supply template replacing the real PV system for any operating point irrespective of the environmental condition changes. The emulated current-voltage and power-voltage curves are validated via resistive load and batteries. Then, the performance of the proposed PV emulator is evaluated by its ability to recharge properly two 12V 7 Ah batteries.

Wind energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy. For the constant evolution of power generation technology, the use of sensors is fundamental to the development of wind turbine emulators. A wind turbine emulator allows tests and evaluations of a wind power system, regardless of weather conditions. Therefore, to further improve this technology, this work focuses on the application of a torque transducer and a rotary encoder for the implementation of a closed-loop wind turbine emulator. The sensors provide the torque and speed feedback signals to the computational model so that the model could plot the power curves and produce the set point voltage used by a variable-frequency drive (VFD) to control a three-phase induction motor (TIM). The emulator was implemented using a control algorithm designed on LabVIEW, with an NI 6211 for the data acquisition. Finally, the system emulates the behaviour of a wind turbine, considering the variations in wind speed, aerodynamic phenomena, load effects, and pitch angle. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of using the TIM-VFD assembly for emulating a wind turbine since the wind turbine emulator behaved like a wind turbine in real-time.

Approved, DCN# 543-443-23 Battery emulation systems are useful for testing and evaluating powertrain systems; but typically,only consider the electrical characteristics of a battery. Powertrains with shared cooling components/systems between batteries and power electronics would benefit from hardware-in-the-loop testing facilities that consider both the electrical and thermal aspects of energy storage. In this work a battery emulator that physically emulates both the electrical and thermal characteristics with a coupled electro-thermal powertrain testbed is demonstrated. The coupled electro-thermo model links the electrical and thermal outputs together and calculates them in real-time. The electrical model is an equivalent circuit representation of a battery making use of experimental data from tested cells. The electrical model is coupled to the thermal model through temperature-dependent parameters of the cell resistance and open circuit voltages. The thermal model is a lumped isothermal reduced order heat generation model. This model will calculate the net heat generated from the ohmic losses, entropic losses, and losses to cooling (liquid and ambient). The thermal model is coupled to the electrical model by being dependent on the cell’s state of charge and using the cell’s current and voltage outputs for its governing equations. Models are parameterized on experimental data acquired through pulsed hybrid testing. In this work, a 3.5 kWh battery pack with a discharge of 40 amps at 48 volts generating 38.4 Watts of heat is emulated in an electro-thermo powertrain testbed configured to represent an electric naval platform such as a small autonomous boat subjected to both baseline and pulsed loading. The electrical emulation is performed through a bidirectional power supply and thermal emulation through a resistive heater. The electro-thermo powertrain testbed then dissipates the emulated electrical energy through power convertors and electronic loads while the thermal energy is dissipated through a heat exchanger that also cools the power convertors. Numerical and experimental validation demonstrate that the coupled electro-thermo battery emulator is capable of accurately representing the electrical and thermal aspects of a 3.5 kWh battery. Limitations in terms of emulating batteries at higher temperatures and current draws are discussed. Effects of scaling the coupled electro-thermo battery emulator are also presented.

ABSTRACT We present matryoshka, a suite of neural-network-based emulators and accompanying python package that have been developed with the goal of producing fast and accurate predictions of the non-linear galaxy power spectrum. The suite of emulators consists of four linear component emulators, from which fast linear predictions of the power spectrum can be made, allowing all non-linearities to be included in predictions from a non-linear boost component emulator. The linear component emulators include an emulator for the matter transfer function that produces predictions in ∼0.0004 s, with an error of ${\lt} 0.08{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ (at 1σ level) on scales 10−4 < k < 101 h Mpc−1. In this paper, we demonstrate matryoshka by training the non-linear boost component emulator with analytic training data calculated with Halofit, which has been designed to replicate training data that would be generated using numerical simulations. Combining all the component emulator predictions we achieve an accuracy of ${\lt} 0.75{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ (at 1σ level) when predicting the real space non-linear galaxy power spectrum on scales 0.0025 < k < 1 h Mpc−1. We use matryoshka to investigate the impact of the analysis set-up on cosmological constraints by conducting several full shape analyses of the real-space galaxy power spectrum. Specifically we investigate the impact of the minimum scale (or kmax), finding an improvement of ∼1.8× in the constraint on σ8 by pushing kmax from 0.25 to 0.85 h Mpc−1, highlighting the potential gains when using clustering emulators such as matryoshka in cosmological analyses.

Diesel engines (DEs) commonly power pumps used in agricultural and grassland irrigation. However, relying on unpredictable and costly fuel sources for DEs pose’s challenges related to availability, reliability, maintenance, and lifespan. Addressing these environmental concerns, this study introduces an emulation approach for photovoltaic (PV) water pumping (WP) systems. Emulation offers a promising alternative due to financial constraints, spatial limitations, and climate dependency in full-scale systems. The proposed setup includes three key elements: a PV system emulator employing back converter control to replicate PV panel characteristics, a boost converter with an MPPT algorithm for efficient power tracking across diverse conditions, and a motor pump (MP) emulator integrating an induction motor connected to a DC generator to simulate water pump behaviors. Precise induction motor control is achieved through a controlled inverter. This work innovatively combines PV and WP emulation while optimizing system dynamics, aiming to develop a comprehensive emulator and evaluate an enhanced control algorithm. An optimized scalar control strategy regulates the water MP, demonstrated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations that highlight superior performance and responsiveness to solar irradiation variations compared to conventional MPPT techniques. Experimental validation using the dSPACE control desk DS1104 confirms the emulator’s ability to faithfully reproduce genuine solar panel characteristics.

This paper proposed a test bench device to emulate or simulate the electrical impulses of a wave energy converter (WEC). The objective of the study is to reconstruct under laboratory conditions the dynamics of a WEC in the form of an emulator to assess the performance, which, in this case, is the output power. The designed emulator device is programmable, which makes it possible to create under laboratory conditions the operating mode of the wave generator, identical to how the wave generator would work under real sea conditions. Any control algorithm can be executed in the designed emulator. In order to test the performance of the constructed WEC emulator, an experiment was conducted to test its power output against that of a real point-absorber WEC. The results indicate that, although the power output for that of the real WEC was higher than the WEC emulator, the emulator performed perfectly well. The relatively low power output of the emulator was because of the type of algorithm that was written for the emulator, therefore increasing the speed of the motor in the algorithm (code) would result in higher output for the proposed WEC emulator.

Fuel cell (FC) technology is still in a growing phase and intensive research is required for its wider applications. However, the high cost of the FC stack is a major hurdle for researchers. This paper presents a new method of FC emulation done by using a Bridgeless SEPIC converter (BSC). The key features of the designed emulator are single stage AC-DC conversion, improved efficiency and nearly unity power factor at the input side. AC-DC BSC is controlled by using the coded model to emulate the behavior of FC. The emulated FC exhibits all three characteristics activation losses, ohmic losses, and concentration losses during operation. The MATLAB/Simulink background is used to implement the FC model and compile it into a C program. The real-time mathematical model is implemented by using a DSP(TMS320F28335) controller. Analysis, modeling, and control strategy of emulated FC are presented, static and dynamic behavior is validated through the 950W laboratory developed prototype.

Abstract This contribution deals with the control of a battery emulator used in automotive testbeds for electric drivetrains. The battery emulator, which is realized as a DC-DC converter, is connected to a unit-under-test (UUT), e. g., an electric motor inverter. To accurately emulate the dynamic impedance of a battery, a highly dynamic output is required. Additionally, battery emulators should be applicable for a large variety of UUTs, hence robust performance in a large operating range is also required. This is especially challenging when the UUT behaves like a constant power load, as this can cause stability issues. To meet the requirements, a flatness-based control concept is presented that establishes feedback equivalence between a nonlinear and a linearized system representation. By examining the stability of the concept, an estimation of the region of attraction is found.

In order to efficiently facilitate various research works related to power converter design and testing for solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, it is a great merit to use advanced power-converter-based and digitally controlled PV emulators in place of actual PV modules to reduce the space, cost, and time to obtain the required scenarios of solar irradiances for various functional tests. This paper presents a flexible PV emulator based on gallium nitride (GaN), a wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor, and a based synchronous buck converter and controlled with a digital signal processor (DSP). With the help of GaN-based switching devices, the proposed emulator can accurately mimic the dynamic voltage-current characteristics of any PV module under normal irradiance and partial shading conditions. With the proposed PV emulator, it is possible to closely emulate any PV module characteristic both theoretically, based on manufacturer’s datasheets, and experimentally, based on measured data from practical PV modules. A curve fitting algorithm is used to handle the real-time generation of control signals for the digital controller. Both simulation with computer software and implementation on 1 kW GaN-based experimental hardware using Texas Instruments DSP as the controller have been carried out. Results show that the proposed emulator achieves efficiency as high as 99.05% and exhibits multifaceted application features in tracking various PV voltage and current parameters, demonstrating the feasibility and excellent performance of the proposed PV emulator.

The linear matter power spectrum is an essential ingredient in all theoretical models for interpreting large-scale-structure observables. Although Boltzmann codes such as CLASS or CAMB are very efficient at computing the linear spectrum, the analysis of data usually requires 104-106 evaluations, which means this task can be the most computationally expensive aspect of data analysis. Here, we address this problem by building a neural network emulator that provides the linear theory (total and cold) matter power spectrum in about one millisecond with ≈0.2%(0.5%) accuracy over redshifts z ≤ 3 (z ≤ 9), and scales10-4 ≤ k [h Mpc-1] < 50. We train this emulator with more than 200,000 measurements, spanning a broad cosmological parameter space that includes massive neutrinos and dynamical dark energy. We show that the parameter range and accuracy of our emulator is enough to get unbiased cosmological constraints in the analysis of a Euclid-like weak lensing survey. Complementing this emulator, we train 15 other emulators for the cross-spectra of various linear fields in Eulerian space, as predicted by 2nd-order Lagrangian Perturbation theory, which can be used to accelerate perturbative bias descriptions of galaxy clustering. Our emulators are specially designed to be used in combination with emulators for the nonlinear matter power spectrum and for baryonic effects, all of which are publicly available at http://www.dipc.org/bacco.

Texto completoResumen
This article aims to develop a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer emulator. This emulator is realized through an equivalent electrical scheme. It allows taking into consideration the dynamic operation of PEM electrolyzers, which is generally neglected in the literature. PEM electrolyzer dynamics are reproduced by the use of supercapacitors, due to the high value of the equivalent double-layer capacitance value. Steady-state and dynamics operations are investigated in this work. The design criteria are addressed. The PEM electrolyzer emulator is validated by using a 400-W commercial PEM electrolyzer. This emulator is conceived to test new DC-DC converters to supply the PEM ELs and their control as well, avoiding the risk to damage a real electrolyzer for experiment purposes. The proposed approach is valid both for a single cell and for the whole stack emulation.

Texto completoResumen
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a pivotal objective for photovoltaic (PV) systems. To test various MPPT techniques, a reliable and effective PV emulator is required. Therefore, this article proposes a low-cost PV emulator for partial shading conditions, in which a cascaded structure of a DC power source with a resistor is constructed to generate the multiple peaks of the power-voltage (P-V) curve. The proposed structure is simple and modular. Consequently, it can be extended to obtain several peaks in the P-V characteristics to emulate more complex partial shading conditions. The partial shading occurrence over the PV source (PV array) causes a significant power loss production from the PV system. To increase the PV system’s efficiency, optimization techniques are employed to harness the global power. Accordingly, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is used to track the global peak. Furthermore, the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) method is applied for comparison and investigation. The proposed PV emulation system is validated under different operating conditions using simulation and experimental hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) results.

This paper proposes a prototype of a new power electronics-based fuel cell emulator. It can effectively replace a real electrochemical fuel cell stack during the development stage of a fuel-cell based power generation. The power stage of this new fuel cell emulator consists of a current source converter (buck rectifier) and a dc-to-dc buck converter. The research mainly focuses on emulating the electrical behavior of two well-known fuel cell systems: Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Solid Oxide fuel cells. A 1.5kW PEM fuel cell case is presented inthis paper. Analysis, modeling and control strategy are presented. A hybrid control technique and a new voltage-current curve tracking technique have been proposed. Both static and dynamic performances of the proposed fuel cell emulator are experimentally verified. The results show that the proposed system can effectively perform in all three operation regions,i.e. activation, ohmic and concentration. With the collaboration of the power electronics circuits and the DSP-based controller, the proposed fuel cell emulator provides both precisely emulated voltage-current characteristic and high-quality output voltage and current.

Texto completoResumen
The contribution of power generation from converter-dominated renewable energy sources (RES) has increased enormously. Consequently, the system inertia is decreasing, and it impacts the frequency of the system. With large-scale integration of power electronic inverter-based power generation from RES, inertia from energy storage devices would be unavoidable in future power grids. In this paper, the inertia emulator is formed with a supercapacitor (IE–SC) to improve inertia in a low inertia grid. To emulate the inertia in a low inertia grid, this paper proposes a fuzzy logic controller-based emulated inertia controller (FL-EIC) for an inverter attached to IE–SC. The proposed fuzzy logic controller estimates the inertial power required based on the frequency deviation and rate of change of frequency (ROCOF). The output of the fuzzy controller adds to the conventional emulated inertia control (EIC) technique to alter the load angle for the power electronic inverter of IE–SC. Specifically, the proposed FL-EIC achieves inertia emulation by proportionally linking the time derivative of the grid frequency and frequency deviation to active power references of IE–SC. A comparison of the conventional EIC and FL-EIC is carried out to prove the effectiveness of the proposed FL-EIC. Furthermore, real-time simulations with the help of the OPAL-RT real-time simulator (OP 5700) are presented to validate the advantage of the FL-EIC.

Abstract This paper introduces a novel circuit design for a memcapacitance emulator, employing a single Voltage Differencing Current Conveyor (VDCC) as its core element. The emulator circuit has been intricately designed, employing only capacitors as grounded passive components. One remarkable aspect of these circuits is their inherent electronic tunability, allowing for precise control of the achieved inverse memcapacitance. The theoretical analysis of the emulator includes a comprehensive examination of potential non-idealities and parasitic influences. Careful selection of passive circuit elements has been made to minimize the impact of these undesirable effects. In contrast to extant designs cataloged in the existing literature, the presented circuitry manifests remarkable simplicity in its configuration. Furthermore, it exhibits a wide operational frequency range, extending up to 50MHz, and effectively clears the non-volatility criterion. To substantiate the efficacy of the devised circuits, comprehensive LTSpice simulations have been conducted, employing a 0.18 μm TSMC process parameter and a power supply of ±0.9 V. These simulations provide robust evidence of the emulator’s performance, reaffirming the feasibility and practicality of the proposed approach in the domain of memcapacitance emulation.

A photovoltaic emulator (PVE) has been proposed based on a physical equivalent photovoltaic cell model. It has fast dynamic performance that is compatible with a real PV system. The PV emulator can analyze and assess PV systems, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It is power efficient at the maximum power point. However, it has higher power loss at an open-circuit voltage (OCV). This paper, therefore, presents a hybrid solution using a switching circuit (SC) paralleled with the diode string (DS) to minimize the power loss. The SC consists of a two-switch non-inverting buck-boost dc/dc converter. The DS operates with a low power loss region, i.e., the current source region (CSR) of the I-V curve, in which the SC switches in to replace the DS in the voltage source region (VSR) to minimize power loss of the DS while maintaining the emulator’s circuit operation. The SC handles only a fraction of the rated emulator power and has a much narrower control bandwidth than a pure switching converter-based solution. Experimental results show that in the worst-case scenario, i.e., OCV condition, the efficiency and temperature of the PVE based on DS alone configuration reach 2.8% and 94.2 °C, respectively, as compared to 85.98% and 26.5 °C for the proposed hybrid solution. Under the 30% to 60% insolation change test, the suggested PV emulator lags the actual PV panel by only 3.2 ms, compared to 120 ms lagging for a commercial emulator. Furthermore, the control strategy is implemented to handle the trade-off between thermal and dynamic performances of the proposed solution.

AC microgrid is an attractive way to energize local loads due to remotely located renewable generation. The AC microgrid can conceptually comprise several grid-forming and grid-following power converters, renewable energy sources, energy storage and local loads. To study the microgrid dynamics, power-hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL)-based test setups are commonly used since they provide high flexibility and enable testing the performance of real converters. In a standard PHIL setup, different components of the AC microgrid exist as real commercial devices or electrical emulators or, alternatively, can be simulated using real-time simulators. For accurate, reliable and repeatable results, the PHIL-setup should be able to capture the dynamics of the microgrid loads and sources as accurately as possible. Several studies have shown how electrical machines, dynamic RLC loads, battery storages and photovoltaic and wind generators can be emulated in a PHIL setup. However, there are no studies discussing how a three-phase grid-following power converter with its internal control functions should be emulated, regardless of the fact that grid-following converters (e.g., photovoltaic and battery storage inverters) are the basic building blocks of AC microgrids. One could naturally use a real converter to represent such dynamic load. However, practical implementation of a real three-phase converter is much more challenging and requires special knowledge. To simplify the practical implementation of microgrid PHIL-studies, this paper demonstrates the use of a commercial high-bandwidth voltage amplifier as a dynamic three-phase power converter emulator. The dynamic performance of the PHIL setup is evaluated by identifying the small-signal impedance of the emulator with various control parameters and by time-domain step tests. The emulator is shown to yield the same impedance behavior as real three-phase converters. Thus, dynamic phenomena such as harmonic resonance in the AC microgrid can be studied in the presence of grid-following converters.

ABSTRACT We present a neural network emulator for baryonic effects in the non-linear matter power spectrum. We calibrate this emulator using more than 50 000 measurements in a 15D parameter space, varying cosmology and baryonic physics. Baryonic physics is described through a baryonification algorithm, which has been shown to accurately capture the relevant effects on the power spectrum and bispectrum in state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations. Cosmological parameters are sampled using a cosmology-rescaling approach including massive neutrinos and dynamical dark energy. The specific quantity we emulate is the ratio between matter power spectrum with baryons and gravity only, and we estimate the overall precision of the emulator to be $2\!-\!3{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$, at scales $k \lt 5 \, h\, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ and redshifts 0 &lt; z &lt; 1.5. We obtain an accuracy of $1\!-\!2{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$, when testing the emulator against a collection of 74 different cosmological hydrodynamical simulations and their respective gravity-only counterparts. We also show that only one baryonic parameter, namely Mc, which sets the gas fraction retained per halo mass, is enough to have accurate predictions of most of the baryonic feedbacks at a given epoch. Our emulator is publicly available at http://www.dipc.org/bacco.

A Photovoltaic Emulator (PVE) is a dedicated instrument engineered to emulate a solar panel's static and dynamic attributes. Its critical function lies in the examination and validation of PV systems by offering a regulated setting despite the erratic shifts in real-world scenarios. The photovoltaic emulator (PVE) comprises two principal constituents - the reference photovoltaic model which serves as the benchmark, and the electronics power controller intrinsic to the PVE itself. The intrinsic simplicity of these two primary elements is imperative for facilitating user-friendly operation. The present study propounds a novel photovoltaic emulator explicitly designed to streamline the deployment and incorporation of a photovoltaic model. The overarching PVE system is predicated on current regulation via a DC-DC buck power-electronic converter and a fundamental proportional-integral (PI) controller. A juxtaposition of the output current and voltage (I-V) characteristics exhibited by the photovoltaic emulator (PVE) and those of the SCHOTT POLY 210 photovoltaic module elucidates that the (I-V) characteristics of the PVE evince congruency and precision, even when subjected to variances in solar irradiance and ambient temperature conditions. This finding underscores the robust performance of the photovoltaic emulator across a diverse spectrum of environmental parameters.

Abstract We compare and validate COLA (COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration) simulations against existing emulators in the literature, namely Bacco and Euclid Emulator 2. Our analysis focuses on the non-linear response function, i.e., the ratio between the non-linear dark matter power spectrum in a given cosmology with respect to a pre-defined reference cosmology, which is chosen to be the Euclid Emulator 2 reference cosmology in this paper. We vary three cosmological parameters, the total matter density, the amplitude of the primordial scalar perturbations and the spectral index. By comparing the COLA non-linear response function with those computed from each emulator in the redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 3, we find that the COLA method is in excellent agreement with the two emulators for scales up to k ∼ 1 h/Mpc as long as the deviations of the matter power spectrum from the reference cosmology are not too large. We validate the implementation of massive neutrinos in our COLA simulations by varying the sum of neutrino masses to three different values, 0.0 eV, 0.058 eV and 0.15 eV. We show that all three non-linear prescriptions used in this work agree at the 1% level at k ≤ 1 h/Mpc. We then introduce the Effective Field Theory of Dark Energy in our COLA simulations using the N-body gauge method. We consider two different modified gravity models in which the growth of structure is enhanced or suppressed at small scales, and show that the response function with respect to the change of modified gravity parameters depends weakly on cosmological parameters in these models.

Abstract Large sets of matter density simulations are becoming increasingly important in large-scale structure cosmology. Matter power spectra emulators, such as the Euclid Emulator and CosmicEmu, are trained on simulations to correct the non-linear part of the power spectrum. Map-based analyses retrieve additional non-Gaussian information from the density field, whether through human-designed statistics such as peak counts, or via machine learning methods such as convolutional neural networks. The simulations required for these methods are very resource-intensive, both in terms of computing time and storage. This creates a computational bottleneck for future cosmological analyses, as well as an entry barrier for testing new, innovative ideas in the area of cosmological information retrieval. Map-level density field emulators, based on deep generative models, have recently been proposed to address these challenges. In this work, we present a novel mass map emulator of the KiDS-1000 survey footprint, which generates noise-free spherical maps in a fraction of a second. It takes a set of cosmological parameters (Ω M , σ 8) as input and produces a consistent set of 5 maps, corresponding to the KiDS-1000 tomographic redshift bins. To construct the emulator, we use a conditional generative adversarial network architecture and the spherical convolutional neural network DeepSphere, and train it on N-body-simulated mass maps. We compare its performance using an array of quantitative comparison metrics: angular power spectra Cℓ , pixel/peaks distributions, Cℓ correlation matrices, and Structural Similarity Index. Overall, the average agreement on these summary statistics is <10% for the cosmologies at the centre of the simulation grid, and degrades slightly on grid edges. However, the quality of the generated maps is worse at high negative κ values or large scale, which can significantly affect summaries sensitive to such observables. Finally, we perform a mock cosmological parameter estimation using the emulator and the original simulation set. We find good agreement in these constraints, for both likelihood and likelihood-free approaches. The emulator is available at tfhub.dev/cosmo-group-ethz/models/kids-cgan.

Abstract Wave turbine emulator (WTE) is an important equipment for developing wave energy conversion system. The emulator reflects the actual behavior of the wave turbine by reproducing the characteristics of real wave turbine without reliance on natural wave resources and actual wave turbine. It offers a controllable test environment that allows the evaluation and improvement of control schemes for electric generators. The emulator can be used for research applications to drive an electrical generator in a similar way as a practical wave turbine. This article presents the development of a WTE in a laboratory environment and studies on the behavior of electrical generator coupled to the emulator. The structure of a WTE consists of a PC where the characteristics of the turbine are implemented, ac drive to emulate the turbine rotor, feedback mechanism from the drive and power electronic equipment to control the drive. The feedback signal is acquired by the PC through an A/D converter, and the signal for driving the power electronic device comes from the PC through a D/A converter.

This paper presents the principles of developing an electromechanical emulator based on an original hybridization concept of a wind and tidal power system. Wind and tidal horizontal axis turbines showcase functional similarities and electromechanical coupling possibility. Tidal concepts are very close to those of wind power. Tidal turbine technology should thus reach maturity more quickly because it is possible for it to rely on a certain number of reliable and proven techniques developed for wind power. The proposed hybrid wind – tidal turbine system is electromechanically coupled on the axis of rotation of a single and common electric generator. An experimental simulation of the hybrid wind-tidal turbine system was carried out, using a developed architecture of an emulator system. The results are both numerical simulations carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and tests obtained employing real-time emulators.

Presently, the trend is to increase the number of cores per chip. This growth is appreciated in Multi-Processor System-On-Chips (MPSoC), composed of more cores in heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures in recent years. Thus, the difficulty of verification of this type of system has been great. The hardware/software co-simulation Virtual Platforms (VP) are presented as a perfect solution to address this complexity, allowing verification by simulation/emulation of software and hardware in the same environment. Some works parallelized the software emulator to reduce the verification times. An example of this parallelization is the QEMU (Quick EMUlator) tool. However, there is no solution to synchronize QEMU with the hardware simulator in this new parallel mode. This work analyzes the current software emulators and presents a new method to allow an external synchronization of QEMU in its parallelized mode. Timing details of the cores are taken into account. In addition, performance analysis of the software emulator with the new synchronization mechanism is presented, using: (1) a boot Linux for MPSoC Zynq-7000 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A9) (Xilinx, San Jose, CA, USA); (2) an FPGA-Linux co-simulation of a power grid monitoring system that is subsequently implemented in an industrial application. The results show that the novel synchronization mechanism does not add any appreciable computational load and enables parallelized-QEMU in hardware/software co-simulation virtual platforms.

The paper presents a new design for a compact memristor emulator that uses a single active component and a grounded capacitor. This design incorporates a current backward transconductance amplifier as the active element, enabling the emulation of both grounded and floating memristors in incremental and decremental modes. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the circuit, covering ideal, non-ideal, and parasitic factors. The theoretical performance of the memristor emulator is confirmed through post-layout simulations with 180 nm generic process design kit (gpdk) technology, demonstrating its capability to operate at low voltages (±1 V) with minimal power consumption. Additionally, the emulator shows strong performance under variations in process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) and functions effectively at a frequency of 2 MHz. Experimental validation using commercially available integrated circuits further supports the proposed design.

Texto completoResumen
The Distributed Maximum Power Point Tracking (DMPPT) approach is a promising solution to improve the energetic performance of mismatched PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems. However, there are still several factors that can reduce DMPPT energy efficiency, including atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of the power stage, constraints imposed by the topology, the finite rating of silicon devices, and the nonoptimal value of string voltage. In order to fully explore the advantages offered by the above solution, the implementation of a Boost based DMPPT emulator is of primary concern, especially if it behaves as a controlled voltage or current source. The repeatability of experimental tests, the tighter control of climatic conditions, the closing of the gap between the physical dimensions of a PV array and the space available in a university lab, the simplicity with which new algorithms can be tested, and the low maintenance costs are just some of the benefits offered by an emulator. This paper describes the realization and use of a Boost based Distributed Maximum Power Point Tracking (DMPPT) emulator and shows its high flexibility and potential. The device is able to emulate the output current vs. voltage (I-V) characteristics of many commercial PhotoVoltaic (PV) modules with a dedicated Boost DC/DC converter. The flexibility is guaranteed by the ability to reproduce both I = f ( V ) and V = g ( I ) characteristics at different values of not only the irradiance levels but also the maximum allowed voltage across the switching devices. The system design is based on a commercial power supply controlled by a low-cost Arduino board by Arduino (Strambino, Torino, Italy). Data acquisition is performed through a low-cost current and voltage sensor by using a multichannel board by National Instruments. Experimental results confirm the capability of the proposed device to accurately emulate the output I-V characteristic of Boost based DMPPT systems obtained by varying the atmospheric conditions, the rating of silicon devices, and the electrical topology.

Tulisan ini membahas perancangan perangkat keras emulator sel surya, memonitoring keluaran emulator menggunakan MATLAB GUI, dan membandingkan karakteristik hasil pengukuran langsung dengan karakteristik hasil simulasi untuk mengetahui unjuk kerja sistem panel surya. Emulator panel surya ini akan dimodelkan dengan persamaan matematis di Arduino Uno dengan menginputkan nilai iradiasi, suhu, arus dan tegangan keluaran buck converter yang diberikan sebagai umpan balik dan menghasilkan arus referensi yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan arus keluaran buck converter dimana kesalahan perbandingan akan di kontrol oleh kendali PID. Hasil uji coba dengan hardware emulator sel surya menunjukkan karakteristik yang mirip dengan modul Solkar 36, dengan tingkat kesalahan rerata sekitar 5,16% untuk daya maksimum, 2,08% untuk arus short circuit, dan 0,28% untuk tegangan open circuit. Penurunan nilai iradiasi mengakibatkan penurunan rata-rata pada arus short circuit, tegangan open circuit, dan daya maksimum sekitar 0,761 A, 0,558 V, dan 17,034 W. Selain itu, rata-rata penurunan Voc dan daya maksimum akibat kenaikan suhu 10 ºC yaitu 0,26 V dan 1,11182 W, sedangkan Isc mengalami peningkatan sekitar 0,015 A. This study discusses the hardware design of a solar cell emulator, monitoring the emulator's output using a MATLAB GUI, and comparing the characteristics of direct measurements with the characteristics of simulation results to determine the solar panel system's performance. This solar panel emulator will be modeled with mathematical equations on an Arduino Uno by inputting values such as irradiance, temperature, current, and output voltage of the buck converter as feedback and generating a reference current, which is then compared with the buck converter's output current. The comparison error will be controlled by a PID controller. Experimental results with the solar cell emulator hardware show characteristics similar to the Solkar 36 module, with an average error rate of about 5.16% for maximum power, 2.08% for short-circuit current, and 0.28% for open-circuit voltage. A decrease in irradiance results in an average decrease in short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and maximum power by about 0.761 A, 0.558 V, and 17.034 W, respectively. In addition, the average decrease in Voc and maximum power due to a 10 ºC temperature increase is 0.26 V and 1.11182 W, while Isc increases by approximately 0.015 A.

In this paper, a discrete non-stationary multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model suitable for the fixed-point realization on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware platform is proposed. On this basis, we develop a flexible hardware architecture with configurable channel parameters and implement it on a non-stationary MIMO channel emulator in a single FPGA chip. In addition, an improved non-stationary channel emulation method is employed to guarantee accurate channel fading and phase, and the schemes of other key modules are also illustrated and implemented in a single FPGA chip. Hardware tests demonstrate that the output statistical properties of proposed channel emulator, i.e., the probability density function (PDF), cross-correlation function (CCF), Doppler power spectrum density (DPSD), and the power delay profile (PDP) agree well with the corresponding theoretical ones.

<p>Quantum computing (QC) leverages superposition, entanglement, and parallelism to solve complex problems that are challenging for classical computing methods. The immense potential of QC has spurred explosive interest and research in both academia and industry. However, the practicality of QC based on large-scale quantum computers remains limited by issues of scalability and error correction. To bridge this gap, QC emulators utilizing classical computing resources have emerged, with modern implementations employing FPGAs for efficiency. Nevertheless, FPGA-based QC emulators face significant limitations, particularly in standalone implementations required for low-power, low-performance devices like IoT end nodes, embedded systems, and wearable devices, due to their substantial resource demands. This paper proposes optimization techniques to reduce resource requirements and enable standalone FPGA implementations of QC emulators. We specifically focused on Grover's algorithm, known for its excellent performance in searching unstructured databases. The proposed resource-saving optimization techniques allow for the emulation of the largest possible Grover's algorithm within the constrained resources of FPGAs. Using these optimization techniques, we developed a hardware accelerator for Grover's algorithm and integrated it with a RISC-V processor architecture. We completed a standalone Grover's algorithm-specific emulator operating on FPGAs, demonstrating significant performance enhancements and resource savings afforded by the proposed techniques.</p>

Assessing the performance of photovoltaic systems, particularly dedicated DC/AC inverter devices, requires the use of photovoltaic panels operating under natural environmental conditions, such as variations in solar radiation intensity, temperature and wind speed. Environmental testing is obviously very troublesome, inconvenient and limited. An alternative solution is to use a device that emulates the output photovoltaic panel curves in variable weather conditions, which allows the carrying out of all necessary tests at the laboratory. This paper presents a new photovoltaic emulator (PVE), mimicking the output characteristics of the photovoltaic panels. The proposed PVE is designed and constructed at the renewable energy laboratory for testing low-power PV inverters connected to the LV grid. A novelty of this solution is the method for shaping emulated current–voltage characteristics I–V. The concept of this method assumes autonomous regulation of slopes and shapes of emulated curve fragments. This allows us to obtain the desired shapes of the output characteristics for a wide range of both voltages and currents. The proposed PVE is not a pulse device; it belongs to linear analogue circuits. In order to confirm the assumed concept, a prototype is designed and constructed, and laboratory tests are conducted. Satisfactory results are obtained, confirming the correctness of the adopted concept. High compliance of the emulated characteristics is found in comparison to the characteristics of the selected commercial photovoltaic module. Very good results of dynamic tests and energy efficiency measurements are achieved.

In this paper, an optimized memristor emulator circuit is designed, by using nine MOSFET transistors and a ground capacitor. Our area- and power-optimized emulator circuit can be used for basic data storage and processing at the monitoring edge, in real-time applications. The memristor shows a nonlinear voltage–current relationship, but no multiplier circuit provides the memristor’s nonlinear characteristics. As a result, the proposed memristor emulator has a very low chip area. The memristor circuit is designed in LTSpice, using 16 nm and 45 nm CMOS technology parameters, and the operating voltage is ±0.9 V. In this research, the theoretical derivations are validated using the simulated results of the memristor emulator circuit using different frequencies, capacitors, and input voltages in SPICE simulations.

Abstract. The electrical test and assessment of wind turbines go hand in hand with standards and network connection requirements. In this paper, the generic structure of advanced electrical test benches, including grid emulator or controllable grid interface, wind torque emulator, and device under test, is proposed to harmonize state-of-the-art test sites. On the other hand, modern wind turbines are under development towards new features, concerning grid-forming, black-start, and frequency support capabilities as well as harmonic stability and control interaction considerations, to secure the robustness and stability of renewable-energy-based power systems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new and revised test standards and methodologies to address the new features of wind turbines. This paper proposes a generic test structure within two main groups, including open-loop and closed-loop tests. The open-loop tests include the IEC 61400-21-1 standard tests as well as the additional proposed test options for the new capabilities of wind turbines, which replicate grid connection compliance tests using open-loop references for the grid emulator. In addition, the closed-loop tests evaluate the device under test as part of a virtual wind power plant and perform real-time simulations considering the grid dynamics. The closed-loop tests concern grid connection topologies consisting of AC and HVDC, as well as different electrical characteristics, including impedance, short-circuit ratio, inertia, and background harmonics. The proposed tests can be implemented using available advanced test benches by adjusting their control systems.

Abstract The small-scale linear information in galaxy samples typically lost during nonlinear growth can be restored to a certain level by the density field reconstruction, which has been demonstrated for improving the precision of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements. As proposed in the literature, a joint analysis of the power spectrum before and after the reconstruction enables an efficient extraction of information carried by high-order statistics. However, the statistics of the postreconstruction density field are difficult to model. In this work, we circumvent this issue by developing an accurate emulator for the prereconstructed, postreconstructed, and cross-power spectra ( P pre , P post, P cross) up to k = 0.5 h Mpc−1 based on the Dark Quest N-body simulations. The accuracy of the emulator is at the percent level; namely, the error of the emulated monopole and quadrupole of the power spectra is less than 1% and 10% of the ground truth, respectively. A fit to an example power spectrum using the emulator shows that the constraints on cosmological parameters get largely improved using P pre +P post+P cross with k max = 0.25 h Mpc − 1 , compared to that derived from P pre alone; namely, the constraints on (Ω m , H 0, σ 8) are tightened by ∼41%–55%, and the uncertainties of the derived BAO and RSD parameters (α ⊥, α ∣∣, f σ 8) shrink by ∼28%–54%, respectively. This highlights the complementarity among P pre , P post, and P cross, which demonstrates the efficiency and practicability of a joint P pre , P post, and P cross analysis for cosmological implications.

Abstract Semi-numerical models of reionization typically involve a large number of unknown parameters whose values are constrained by comparing with observations. Increasingly often, exploring this parameter space using semi-numerical simulations can become computationally intensive, thus necessitating the use of emulators. In this work, we present a likelihood emulator based on Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for our semi-numerical reionization code, SCRIPT, and use it for parameter inference using mock 21 cm power spectrum data and Bayesian MCMC analysis. A unique aspect of our methodology is the utilization of coarse resolution simulations to identify high-probability regions within the parameter space, employing only a moderate amount of computational time. Samples drawn from these high-probability regions are used to construct the training set for the emulator. The subsequent MCMC using this GPR-trained emulator is found to provide parameter posteriors that agree reasonably well with those obtained using conventional MCMC. The computing time for the analysis, which includes both generation of training sets and training the emulator, is reduced by approximately an order of magnitude. This methodology is particularly advantageous in scenarios where one wants to use different parametrizations of reionization models and/or needs to start with broad prior distributions on the parameters, offering an efficient and effective means of parameter inference.

This paper presents a power loss decrease method based on finite set model predictive control (FSMPC) with delay compensation for a motor emulator with reduced switch count. Specifically, the topology and mathematical model of the proposed motor emulator with reduced switch count are firstly built. Secondly, in light of given instructions, the normal or fault reference current of the motor emulator is set by a reference current setter. Then delay compensation is applied for the predictive current model to calculate the current residual generated by each switch control signal, and the current tracking performance under actions of two adjacent switch control signals is evaluated for each sector. Finally, a switch power loss objective function is defined, then the two adjacent switch control signals that generate the lowest switch power loss are selected for the next second instant, which minimizes the power loss of the motor emulator with ensuring satisfied current tracking performance. Simulation and experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

ABSTRACT We introduce an emulator approach to predict the non-linear matter power spectrum for broad classes of beyond-ΛCDM cosmologies, using only a suite of ΛCDM N-body simulations. By including a range of suitably modified initial conditions in the simulations, and rescaling the resulting emulator predictions with analytical ‘halo model reactions’, accurate non-linear matter power spectra for general extensions to the standard ΛCDM model can be calculated. We optimize the emulator design by substituting the simulation suite with non-linear predictions from the standard halofit tool. We review the performance of the emulator for artificially generated departures from the standard cosmology as well as for theoretically motivated models, such as f(R) gravity and massive neutrinos. For the majority of cosmologies we have tested, the emulator can reproduce the matter power spectrum with errors ${\lesssim}1{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ deep into the highly non-linear regime. This work demonstrates that with a well-designed suite of ΛCDM simulations, extensions to the standard cosmological model can be tested in the non-linear regime without any reliance on expensive beyond-ΛCDM simulations.

Advancing decarbonization critically depends on the integration of PV systems into microgrids. However, this integration faces challenges, including the variability of photovoltaic solar energy production, the demands of energy management, and the complexities of grid synchronization and communication. To address these challenges, a PV emulator platform is an essential tool. This paper presents a novel four-layer PV emulator platform that seamlessly integrates power systems, control systems, measurement instrumentation, and communication processes. The proposed platform enables the emulation of I-V curves and the dynamic adjustment of operating points—including both the maximum power point (MPP) and power reserve point (PRP)—as well as temperature and irradiance while providing sufficient power capacity for microgrid integration. To validate its effectiveness, the platform was assessed for its capability to adjust operating points, such as MPPs or PRPs, under varying irradiance and temperature conditions. The results show that the platform effectively adjusts operating points with a deviation of less than 5% from theoretical values and successfully tracks a sequence of operating points. This performance underscores the platform’s potential in integrating and managing PV systems within microgrid environments, thereby advancing the path to decarbonization.

The design and testing phase of photovoltaic (PV) power systems requires time-consuming and expensive field-testing activities for the proper operational evaluation of maximum power point trackers (MPPT), battery chargers, DC/AC inverters. Instead, the use of a PV source emulator that accurately reproduces the electrical characteristic of a PV panel or array is highly desirable for in-lab testing and rapid prototyping. In this paper, we present the development of a low-cost microcontroller-based PV source emulator, which allows testing the static and dynamic performance of PV systems considering different PV module types and variable operating and environmental conditions. The novelty of the simple design adopted resides in using a low-cost current generator and a single MOSFET converter to reproduce, from a fixed current source, the exact amount of current predicted by the PV model for the actual load conditions. The I–V characteristic is calculated in real-time using a single diode exponential model under variable and user-selectable operating conditions. The proposed method has the advantage of reducing noise from high-frequency switching, reducing or eliminating ripple and the demand for output filters, and it does not require expensive DC Power source, providing high accuracy results. The fast response of the system allows the testing of very fast MPPTs algorithms, thus overcoming the main limitations of state-of-art PV source emulators that are unable to respond to the quick variation of the load. Experimental results carried on a hardware prototype of the proposed PV source emulator are reported to validate the concept. As a whole result, an average error of ±1% in the reproduction of PV module I–V characteristics have been obtained and reported.

This paper deals with an emulation system for Power Electronics Converters (PEC). The emulation of PECs is performed on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) capable of hard real-time operation. To obtain such a system, the converter operation is described using a differential equations-based model designed with the graph theory. Differential equation coefficients are changed according to the type of converter and pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals. The tie-set and incidence matrix approach for the converter modelling is performed to describe the converter operation in a general way. Such approach enables that any type of PECs can be described appropriately. The emulator was verified experimentally by synchronous operation with a real DC-AC converter built for this purposes.
