HILRES'22 Summer School: Hardware in the Loop for Renewable systems with SoC platforms, brings together students, researchers and academics from UK, France, Canada, Holland and Romania to design from scratch a bare-metal SoPC based Hardware in the Loop platform to model, simulate and control a complete Photovoltaic system using various design methodologies on low-cost SoC platforms.
Royal Holloway, University of London has organized the first Summer School for young researchers, technically sponsored by ESoC Technical Committee of IES IEEE.
The event provided Master and PhD students, lecturer, researchers and engineers from academia and industry the opportunity to design/implement and hardware/software co-simulate a renewable energy system.
HILRES’22 aims to providing a three-day design from scratch experience of a bare-metal SoPC based Hardware in the Loop platform to model, simulate and control a complete Photovoltaic (PV) system using various design methodologies on low-cost SoC platforms.
