Abstract: With the increasing proportion of new energy access and the wide application of power electronic equipment, digital real time hardware-in-the-loop simulation has become an important means of simulation analysis of new power systems. In this context, the paper aims to summarize the research status of digital real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation at home and abroad, and discuss the key technologies for improving simulation efficiency and accuracy as well as the difficulties in the process. This article starts from the development history of digital real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and discusses the component modeling of digital real-time simulation in turn, including Ron/Roff and L/C two types of device modeling methods, summarizes three types of interface circuits of Thevenin equivalent, Norton equivalent and frequency-dependent network equivalent methods, discussed high-speed parallel algorithms, simulation platform architectures based on different computing units and types of hardware-in-the-loop simulation, introduces the basic flow of typical digital real-time hardware-in-loop simulation and its application in new power systems application examples, and finally summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of various architectures and algorithms as well as applicable scenarios.
