This paper demonstrates a multiplatform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) approach to observe the operation of a high-speed permanent-magnet synchronous generator coupled with a microturbine in an all-electric-ship power system. The mathematical model of the gas turbine and the dynamic equations of the high-speed generator are implemented in real time on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). This real-time simulation interfaces with hardware via a serial peripheral interface to a supervisory digital signal processor (DSP) of a three-phase voltage source inverter. The inverter output load is virtually emulated in the FPGA using received hardware measurements from the DSP. A user input interface is introduced using dSPACE on a personal computer to acquire data and adjust the speed reference of the generator system through a serial communication interface to the DSP. The real-time simulation and HIL experimental setup are validated in a scaled medium voltage dc ship power system.
