RESOURCES

Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and DC Grid Models

During the CIGRE B4-72 work seven benchmark models were proposed and simulated with all EMT software.
This presentation includes models developed for BM1 and BM4. BM1 is a 500 kV DC Grid with renewable; BM4 was an on shore and off shore system created in B4-57 include three subsystem: point-to-point; bipolar grid 400 kV; and symmetrical monopole 200 kV.

Part of the system is with submarine cable and part with overhead transmission line. The 400-200 kV are interconnected with DC-DC converter. AC-DC and DC-DC converter were modeled in detail using VSC converter of the EMTP® RV library. AC and DC faults were simulated modeling AC and DC breakers.

Grid Import Tool For EMTP® Using CIM CGMES Format

This presentation targets CIM CGMES standard solution to data portability in relation to an EMT-type application. CIM is a format that attempts to be accessible and understandable to all.

The grid import tool allows to import static data from planning tools into EMTP® that is the first step for frequency scan studies and time-domain simulations. Exchanging CIM dynamic data is in progress, some standard control systems have already been successfully imported. Abstract: The need of automation for the exchange of power system information between simulation tools is an increasing one.

There are several methods for creating modeling portability between applications. Using a standard facilitates interoperable exchanges of power system network data between and within organizations and is substantial to become a durable portable method. This presentation targets CIM CGMES standard solution to data portability in relation to an EMT-type application. CIM is a format that attempts to be accessible and understandable to all.
