The final day of the 2nd SUNRISE Summer School took place on July 11 at the Smart Grid Laboratory, located in the Palace of Science. The program featured a series of advanced lectures, live simulations, and demonstrations focused on control strategies for power converters, with a particular emphasis on real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
The agenda included the following sessions:
- Control Hardware in the Loop of grid-following VSCs using Typhoon HIL – delivered by Francisco Jesús Matas-Díaz, Assistant Professor at the University of Seville, together with the USE team
- Control Hardware in the Loop of grid-forming VSCs using Typhoon HIL – presented by Manuel Barragán Villarejo, Associate Professor at the University of Seville, and the USE team
- Experimental validation of VSC controller in the SUNRISE prototype – demonstrated jointly by the ETF team and the USE team
These sessions offered participants a valuable opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technologies, observe real-time testing setups, and interact directly with experts from the field.
At the end of the day, all participants received certificates of completion. The event concluded on a high note, with many attendees expressing their satisfaction and enthusiasm, as well as a keen interest in future editions of the Summer School.
