Advanced Out-of-Step Splitting Protection Simulation Platform with Considering High Frequency Generation Tripping and Low Frequency Load Shedding

Abstract

This paper presents an advanced out-of-step (OOS) splitting protection simulation platform considering high frequency generation tripping and low frequency load shedding. In the proposed simulation platform, Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) is utilized as the real-time power system simulator. Through the high-speed I/O card, real industry OOS splitting protection device is integrated into the proposed simulation platform. Based on the real China South Power Grid (CSG) control strategy, high frequency generation tripping and low frequency load shedding components are modelled in the simulation. CSG real grid is modelled in the RTDS to perform the Real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation. Simulation results present that there is a clear difference between with high frequency generation tripping results and without high frequency generation tripping results.
