Abstract

This paper describes today's power system simulation challenge. Simulator technology has evolved from physical/analogue simulators (HVDC simulators, TNA’s) for electromagnetic transients and protection and control studies, to hybrid TNA/Analogue/Digital simulators with the capability of studying electro-mechanical transient behaviour [1], to fully digital real-time simulators. Today’s global power system infrastructure is rapidly changing towards increasingly distributed generation/distribution systems, and this transformation mandates expanded use of power electronic devices: HVDC, FACTS and interfacing devices for dc and variable-frequency power sources (photovoltaic, wind generation).
