Modern power and energy systems are characterized by the wide integration of distributed generation, storage and electric vehicles, adoption of ICT solutions, and interconnection of different energy carriers and consumer engagement, posing new challenges and creating new opportunities. Advanced testing and validation methods are needed to efficiently validate power equipment and controls in the contemporary complex environment and support the transition to a cleaner and sustainable energy system. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation has proven to be an effective method for validating and de-risking power system equipment in highly realistic, flexible, and repeatable conditions. Controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) and power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) are the two main HIL simulation methods used in industry and academia that contribute to system-level testing enhancement by exploiting the flexibility of digital simulations in testing actual controllers and power equipment.

冬天，一隻獅子救了一隻受傷的小鳥。牠們一起度過寒冷的日子，分享寧靜與溫暖。當春天到來，鳥兒飛走了，留下寂寞與空盪。獅子學會了等待，也學會接受別離。直到秋風再起，熟悉的影子又回到窗前——朋友回來了。這本書用極少的文字，傳達友情與季節更迭的力量。每一頁都像一次深呼吸，溫柔而真實。Un lion découvre un oiseau blessé, le soigne durant les mois d'hiver. Les deux amis apprennent à vivre ensemble.Mais, un jour, le printemps arrive, l'oiseau s'éloigne pour retrouver ses semblables. « C'est la vie » dit le Lion. Il apprend alors à ressentir la solitude, les chaussons vides et l'ennui à plein temps. On tourne les pages sans faire de bruit. On lève les yeux au ciel, l'oiseau revient et la joie est là, à plein coeur. « Ensemble, nous n'aurons pas froid cet hiver » conclut le Lion.
