“…Such testing has been done in the past, on a reduced system model, with the discovery that the controller exhibited incorrect operation under extreme conditions [3]. With a larger system model the impact of the JVC and the synchronous condenser's controllers may be studied for a wider range of system conditions.…”

“…With this knowledge it updates the power-electronic model in the system. Depending on the type of switches, the circuit variables , for example voltages at the point of common coupling, may be functions of the firing signals and/or the network state (1) Then, the simulator proceeds to obtain the numerical solution of the network state equations for the given time-step. The state equations for a linear time-invariant network can be written in general as (2) subject to the initial conditions and , where is the network state vector and is the input vector.…”

“…R EAL-TIME digital simulation of power systems is becoming increasingly commonplace for testing of new FACTS and HVDC controllers and protection systems [1]- [3] before they are commissioned. When a digital controller for a power-electronic apparatus such as a unified power-flow controller (UPFC) needs to be tested, it is interfaced with a real-time simulator modeling the UPFC and the surrounding power system into which the UPFC is embedded.…”

Digital simulation of power systems containing power electronics apparatus is challenging due to the need to account multiple switching events within one simulation time-step. This paper describes a family of algorithms, with varying levels of computational complexity, for accounting such switching events in digital simulations. The proposed algorithms are applicable for both off-line and real-time simulations. A comparative study on their performance such as harmonic content, errors in fundamental component and simulation time requirement is presented. A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based D-STATCOM system is used as a case study for simulations. Simulation results indicate excellent performance (accuracy and efficiency) in comparison with a fixed time-step algorithm using a small step-size.

“…E MULATING conditions existing on a real power system has always been a critical requirement for myriad applications [1]- [3] including testing new control and protection equipment. Historically, this requirement has been met by transient network analyzers (TNAs) which were built using scaled-down analog models of power system equipment interconnected in their original configuration.…”

With the growing importance of power quality problems to electric utilities and customers, there is an increased focus on the search for new tools and techniques for accurate analysis and resolution of such problems. This paper reviews currently available techniques for the modeling and simulation of time-varying harmonics in real-time. Following a brief summary of the currently used off-line harmonics modeling and simulation methods, the principles and system element representations using wave digital filter (WDF) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) methods are discussed. Hardware and software architectures of real-time network simulator (RTNS), HYPERSIM, and PC-cluster based real-time simulator are presented. Towards the end, two case studies are given to demonstrate the real-time analysis of time-varying harmonics generated by a three-phase arc furnace using the PC-cluster based real-time simulator, and a real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) equipment testing using the real-time digital simulator (RTDS).
