Abstract

ABSTRACT In this work, we discuss and demonstrate how multi-engine marine power plants with weak power grids efficiently can be set up and simulated in a distributed co-simulation framework. To facilitate configuration switching such as starting and stopping, connecting and disconnecting arbitrary gensets online, the generator models are modelled as hybrid causality component models. This implementation enables seamless and energy conservative model switching. Also, the proposed simulator framework is scalable such that the number of gensets in the power plant can be set by a single parameter, which automatically scales the power management system and the tailored simulator master algorithm accordingly. To control the number of active gensets being connected to the power grid while running the simulation, a simple mixed integer linear programming formulation is proposed. A simulation case study including a marine power plant configuration with four equal-sized gensets is conducted in the end to demonstrate the features of the proposed simulator framework, which also can be applied to, e.g. a small wind farm, or an isolated number of islands with interconnected power generators.

一种面向对象的分布式弱电网船舶发电厂模拟器框架

摘要在这项工作中，我们讨论并演示了如何在分布式协同仿真框架中高效地建立和模拟具有弱电网的多引擎船用发电厂。为了便于在线启动和停止、连接和断开任意发电机组等配置切换，将发电机模型建模为混合因果分量模型。这种实现实现了无缝和节能的模型切换。此外，所提出的模拟器框架是可扩展的，使得发电厂中的发电机组数量可以由单个参数设置，从而相应地自动缩放功率管理系统和定制的模拟器主算法。为了在运行模拟时控制连接到电网的有功发电机组的数量，提出了一个简单的混合整数线性规划公式。最后进行了一个模拟案例研究，包括具有四个同等尺寸发电机组的海上发电厂配置，以展示所提出的模拟器框架的特点，该框架也可应用于小型风电场或具有互连发电机的孤立岛屿。
