Like many areas in research and development, power electronic and distributed energy resource research and development slowed during the COVID pandemic. While the presence of the virus has reduced and workers are returning to shared offices, uncertainty of potential future challenges are still present. This work proposes a development and testing network that provides researchers the ability to operate remotely and coordinate control and debug activities for power electronic systems. This development and testing network has been demonstrated in both controller hardware-in-the-loop (C-HIL) and hardware testing.
