Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter for Low-Frequency AC Transmission – modeling and Simulation in EMTP
Description:Authors: Rafael Castillo-Sierra and Giri Venkataramanan
The transmission of power with AC faces limitations both to the stable operation of the electrical system and to the physical properties of... see more the transmission lines. Therefore, alternatives are being sought to mitigate these problems without the need to build new lines or replace existing ones with new, more powerful ones. In this context, a proven method makes it possible to overcome these problems by reducing the frequency at which power is transmitted. This method is known as Low Frequency AC Transmission (LFAC). In this sense, the model presented in this Research Contribution Prize Program EMTP® 2021 shows the implementation of a low-frequency transmission line in a small power system. The model presented shows a new block in EMTP of the AC/AC converter used, the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter (MMMC) and the controls necessary for its operation. Time domain studies show that the technology is feasible and has the potential to improve the controllability and stability of transmission systems.

Fault Current Limiters in Industrial Power Systems
Description:The concept of saturable core fault current limiter (FCL) is relatively known nowadays. It usually consists of two reversely magnetized cores per phase to effectively limit the fault current passively... see more and immediately upon its inception. In this paper prospects of application of fault current limiters in industrial power systems will be considered. Industrial power systems (distribution networks) are widespread and include a number of various electrical appliances. The power systems development (addition of new power plants, interconnections, etc.) may lead to more intense short circuit currents at the fault location. Furthermore, industrial systems may possess on-site generation which can increase fault current levels as well. All these factors might require appropriate upgrades of industrial system electrical equipment (especially switchgear) or special operating procedures (for instance avoiding parallel operation). Another alternative is the installation of fault current limiters. In this light, a series of simulations were carried out in order to observe the impact of fault current limiters on short circuit currents in an industrial power system using the EMTP-RV software program.

Power system islands, autonomous microgrids and relevant instrumentation
Description:Unplanned power system islanding is usually seen as a major risky operating condition and specific countermeasures are applied in order to avoid it. However the capability of voluntary disconnection f... see morerom the external grid and autonomous operation is often a requirement for some industrial power systems and power plants.

“Power system islands, autonomous microgrids and relevant instrumentation” aims at providing an occasion to exchange ideas and experiences in order to envisage situations in which voluntary power system islanding may be useful and to define the instrumentation required for a reliable operation in islanded conditions. This paper, provided by the organizers, reviews some activities recently carried out on this topic at their institution.
