Abstract

This paper describes a versatile, multi-domain, large power grid real-time digital simulator. Its ability to conduct multiple tests for protection coordination studies is described. A large grid model built using the EMTP-RV software and simulated in real-time using the eMEGAsim platform’s EMTP-RT software tool is described. A discussion and comparisons on the different solvers offered with both simulation environments are made. Comparisons between offline and Real-Time simulations are made using superimposed fault condition waveforms. Finally, multiple random tests are performed on the featured power system model and analyzed using the eMEGAsim simulator’s software package.

Abstract

This paper describes a versatile, multi-domain, real-time digital simulator of large power grids. Its capability to conduct multiple tests for protection coordination studies is described. A large grid model built using the EMTP-RV software and simulated in real-time using the eMEGAsim real-time digital simulator and EMTP-RT software tool is described. Comparisons between off-line and real-time simulations with different solvers are made using superimposed steady-state and fault condition waveforms. A multiple random tests application for protection coordination studies using eMEGAsim simulator’s built-in software TestDrive GUI and Python API scripting tool is described. The paper concludes with a discussion on the off-line, real-time and acceleration modes of simulation of the PC-based eMEGAsim simulator and its advantages for studies of modern power systems.
