Abstract: The ongoing decarbonisation of the electric power system brings new challenges in terms of system dynamics and stability, as the substitution of generation units with rotating masses towards generation units based on power electronics entails a substantial loss of inertia. To meet the new challenges and maintain the reliability of the electrical grid, innovative solutions are required. Therefore, this paper presents a two-step approach to test and validate controller structures for damping inter-area oscillations. First, the controller was developed and tested in a control hardware in the loop environment. Then, the controller was transferred to a dynamic hardware emulator (scaled version of the Kundur's two area transmission network in the laboratory consisting of physical hardware) for final performance validation. It is shown that with a conventional power system stabilizer (PSS) and a proportional wide-area damping controller (WADC), the damping of inter-area oscillations is improved in an emulated power system. In addition, with the setup created, different types of controllers and other challenges related to wide-area damping control can be investigated in the future.
