Power Hardware-In-the-Loop Testing of a Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading Framework

This paper demonstrates the value of power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) testing for the study of peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. P2P has emerged as a promising candidate for coordinating large numbers of distributed energy resources (DER) that pose a risk to network operations if left unmanaged. The existing literature has so far relied on pure software simulations to study DER and distribution networks within this context. This requires the development of simplified models for complex compone...
