Abstract

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) can enhance the authenticity and reliability of offline simulation at the design stage, and reduce the risk of equipment performance commissioning for complex systems. This paper focuses on the HILS of the control mechanism of a nuclear-powered engineering ship including a two-loop nuclear power system, an electric power system, and a mechanical system. In the software part, the mathematical model is implemented in Modelica language with OpenModelica. The nuclear power system is demonstrated in steady-state referring to the Japanese nuclear power merchant ship “NS Mutsu” and is debugged under transient conditions with the help of an operation control module. The electric power system and mechanical system were developed to have certain functions for marine engineering. In the hardware part, the system is built based on an Arduino microcontroller, the Modelica open-source library, and a Bluetooth-based communication protocol between the computer and the microcontroller. The study proved that HILS is capable of simulating the multi-physical joint operation on the software level, establishing the real-time action response and data feedback between the software and hardware parts, and completing steady-state as well as various transient simulations.

基于 Modelica 和 Arduino 的核动力工程船硬件在环仿真

硬件在环仿真（HILS）可以提高设计阶段离线仿真的真实性和可靠性，降低复杂系统设备性能调试的风险。本文重点研究了一艘核动力工程船的控制机制的 HILS，包括双回路核动力系统、电力系统和机械系统。在软件部分，数学模型是用 Modelica 语言和 OpenModelica 实现的。核动力系统参照日本核动力商船 "NS Mutsu "号进行了稳态演示，并在运行控制模块的帮助下进行了瞬态调试。开发的电力系统和机械系统具有一定的海洋工程功能。在硬件部分，系统基于 Arduino 微控制器、Modelica 开源库以及计算机与微控制器之间基于蓝牙的通信协议构建。研究证明，HILS 能够在软件层面模拟多物理关节的运行，在软件和硬件部分之间建立实时动作响应和数据反馈，并完成稳态和各种瞬态模拟。
