To overcome the limitations of digital simulation (numerical oscillation, limited computing capability of processors, etc.), a converter-based hardware test-bed was developed at CURENT for real-time power grid emulation. However, distribution systems especially microgrids cannot be emulated and tested on the existing hardware test-bed. This paper develops a microgrid test-bed based on the existing hardware test-bed to enable controller testing for microgrids with dynamic boundary. The design and realization of the microgrid hardware test-bed are introduced. The experimental results of the microgrid controller tests are also provided.
