“…Firstly, as information does not propagate faster than the speed of light, if the line travel time is longer than one time-step, effectively the two sides of the TL are computationally decoupled and can be executed in parallel on the GPU. This fact is used in many real-time simulators such as [25], [26]. Also, calculations in the modal domain themselves can be performed in parallel.…”

“…Hence, a quantitative measure for granularity used in this paper is the ratio of the number of TLs used to interconnect various subsystems to the total size of the network. Earlier research with real-time simulation (such as [26]) indicates that high granularity systems allow for faster simulation speeds. This paper investigates the impact of granularity on the simulation speed when GPU based simulation is used.…”

“…The SFCLT model built in PSCAD was ported to the real time digital simulator RTDS TM [16] to allow study effects within a second but larger, multi-area power system (also referred to herein as TS2). The simplified Australian Power System model available in [17,18] was modelled in electromagnetic transient type (EMTP) simulator, RTDS TM over 5 racks running in real-time at a 50 µs time step.…”

Abstract-Superconducting devices have emerged in many applications during the last few decades. They offer many advantages including high efficiency, compact size, and superior performance. However, the main drawback of these devices is the high cost. An option to reduce the high cost and improve the costbenefit ratio is to integrate two functions into one device. This paper presents the superconducting fault current limiting transformer (SFCLT) as a superior alternative to normal power transformers. The transformer has superconducting windings and also provides fault current limiting capability to reduce high fault currents. The SFCLT is tested in two power system models: a 7 bus wind farm based model simulated in PSCAD and on the 80 bus simplified Australian power system model simulated in RTDS. Various conditions were studied to investigate the effectiveness of the fault current limiting transformer.  Index Terms-Transformers, superconducting, fault current limiters .

“…It is also an effective and efficient method in the education of electrical engineering, to give the students an overview of the electric power system. However, the traditional dynamic simulation laboratory, which uses large-scale physical elements, needs huge investment, large experimental area, high operation cost and high maintenance cost, which obstructs the popularization of dynamic simulation as a tool in research and education [1]. The digital simulation, like RTDS, brings all the elements into a flexible experiment platform, which leads to low cost and small area.…”
