Implementation of Open Loop Testing Schemes for the Assessment of the Power System Dynamic Operation

Abstract

This contribution highlights the importance of the implementation of open loop testing schemes in the assessment of the power system operation. These testing schemes can be used to solve most of the needs related to the assessment of the power system dynamic operation and can be applied in a simple way and at low cost, in comparison with closed loop schemes that require the use of an expensive real-time simulator. It is not intended in this contribution to minimize the importance of the realtime simulators but just highlight the importance of the open loop testing schemes.
