Real-Time Simulation Technology for Modern Power Electronics

Hao Bai received the bachelor's degree and master's degree in electrical engineering from the Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China, in 2013 and 2016 respectively. He received his doctor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbeliard, France, in 2019. He is currently an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University, China. His main research interests include real-time simulation of power electronics systems, multi-level multi-domain modeling and simulation, and digital twin technology. Chen Liu received the Master's degrees in electrical engineering from Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China, in 2014, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbeliard (UTBM), Belfort, France, in 2018. From 2018 to 2020, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Energy and Computer Science, UTBM, Belfort, France. Currently, he is an associate professor in electrical engineering in Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China. His main research interests include real-time simulation of power electronic system and hardware-in-the-loop test. Dusan Majstorovic earned the masters and doctoral degree from the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad, Serbia in 2005 and 2012 respectively. He is currently the Chief Technical Officer at Typhoon HIL and a member of the team that developed both the theoretical foundation and hardware platform for the world's first programmable FPGA solver based Hardware-in-the Loop (HIL) real-time emulator platform for power electronics. He leads both the technology and product development and is the chief architect of Typhoon HIL FPGA solver. His field of interest is focused on real-time high-performance computing. Fei Gao is currently the Deputy Director of the French national CNRS research institute FEMTO-ST and a Full Professor at the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbeliard (UTBM). He received from UTBM the PhD degree in renewable energy with distinguished Youth Doctor Award in 2010. His main research fields include fuel cells and their applications in transportation, multi-physical modeling and real time simulation systems. Prof. Gao is the recipient of the 2020 IEEE J. David Irwin Early Career Award from IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. He is a Fellow of IET and holder of the French research expertise bonus from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Industrial Electronics Technology News, the Assistant Deputy Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, and an Associate Editor of 4 IEEE Transactions journals. He is Conferences Committee Chair of IEEE Transportation Electrification Community and Secretary of the Technical Committee on Vehicle and Transportation Systems of IEEE Power Electronics Society.
