Abstract

This document provides users with benchmark models to evaluate the OPAL-RT Technologies system configuration needed to develop research models for the following three HVDC transmission systems: • Bipolar HVDC model, • Monopolar back-to-back HVDC system based on the First CIGRE benchmark for HVDC control studies [1], and • Multi-Terminal HVDC System. The controllers and protections implemented in these models are described. Simulation results with additional comments are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of these models. The studied systems are modeled in an environment that integrates Simulink/SimPowerSystems (SPS) with the eMEGAsim simulation platform, which incorporates the ARTEMiS software for solving of the real-time simulated model and the RTeDrive and RT-Events blocksets. This platform enables the simulation of increasingly large systems with real-time performance across multiple CPUs. Through the use of the TestDrive graphical user interface platform from OPAL-RT Technologies, it is also demonstrated that observing results and modifying parameters and conditions on a real-time simulated model is both easy and user friendly.
