Toward a Power System Emulation using Analog Microelectronics Solid State Circuits

Abstract

Abstracts-An analog electronics emulation solution is investigated in order to assess the state of a power system facing dynamic phenomena such as the transient stability. Two approaches are studied: DC emulation and AC emulation. Both are intended to be integrated on VLSI submicron CMOS silicon technologies. This implementation has the advantages of presenting low cost, fast simulation time that is independent of the network size and the number of the generators connected to it, low power consumption and small size.

High-speed, mixed-signal emulation for power system dynamic analysis

“…As described in [3], a fully programmable demonstrator has been realized on printed circuit boards (PCBs). A simple reference topology has been used with three generators connected to one load ( Figure 2).…”

“…Shrink factors link the values between real components and the emulated ones, such as resistances, inductances and capacitances. DC emulation [1] [2] [3] is a mathematical representation of the real power system solved by analog computation. It provides the envelope of power system signals.…”

“…The Phasor emulation approach is based on a mathematical abstraction of the grid [2, [4][5]. It uses the complex representation of electrical values (i.e.…”

“…1 and is called power system emulation. , and is currently being further developed by different research teams [3][4][5][6][7][8]. This paper compares two different approaches.…”

“…The second one is called the AC emulation approach. Both approaches have already appeared in literature [4][5][6][7][8].…”
