Abstract
This paper presents the application of a novel hybrid multirate protocol to interface a Shifted Frequency Analysis (SFA) solution with an Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) solution. Using the Multi Area Thévenin Equivalent (MATE) framework, the protocol enables the direct interfacing of SFA and EMT solutions without time step delays, iterations, or the use of transmission lines to decouple the solutions. The protocol adds a parallel EMT solution to track both the real and imaginary parts of the EMT solution. This allows for a direct interface to the complex-number SFA solution. The proposed hybrid approach allows for large time steps in the SFA solution and does not require the time steps of the SFA and EMT systems to be multiples of each other. The protocol has been previously validated in a transient stability study, and it is applied in this paper to power electronics devices in the EMT subsystem using a modified CIGRE HVDC benchmark system. The use of SFA and the multirate nature of the solution offers significant computational savings for large power systems compared to an EMT-only solution.
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
