Improved Interfacing of Electrical Machine Models to Electromagnetic Transients Programs

Graphics-Processing-Unit-Based Acceleration of Electromagnetic Transients Simulation

“…In this work electrical generators were modelled using the method presented in [1], [21], [22]. In this case, the generators are modelled as Norton equivalent circuits having a current source in parallel with an equivalent admittance.…”

“…Finally, this matrix was divided into several blocks containing parallel threads, which were deployed during the invocation of the kernel-function for generators. The generators also have a simple excitation control system as shown in [1], [21].…”

Synchronous machine modeling precision and efficiency in electromagnetic transients

“…In the third approach, used in PSCAD/EMTDC, the machine model is interfaced with the main network as a compensation current source and a special terminating resistance [18]. The Norton current source, that represents the machine, is calculated using the previous time point terminal voltages of the machine.…”

Digital simulation of flexible topology power electronic apparatus in power systems

“…A further technique, not yet implemented, is to break larger networks into subsystems connected by travelling-wave transmission lines as is done in the program EMTDC [3]. In this way when one part of the network requires small time-steps for switching, the remainder of the network could take one large time-step and wait.…”
