Project Description and Objectives:
This project focuses on the real-time simulations of a renewable energy system with high penetration of power electronic apparatus. Real-time simulations of large-scale AC/DC grids, integrating a large number of converters, are becoming the recent research hotspots. This is due to the dynamics of the power system which is dramatically reshaped by the dynamics of large-scale AC grids and multi-converters. In this project, the following issues are targeted to be resolved:
(1) Efficient electromagnetic transient (EMT) and transient stability models of the large-scale AC/DC systems containing the line commutated converters (LCCs), voltage sourced converters (VSCs) and the modular multi-level converters (MMCs).
(2) The coordination control strategies between the HVDC and renewable energy, such as wind farms in China or Denmark.
(3) Study on the oscillation mechanism aroused by interactions of converters and the AC grids. To dampen or eliminate these oscillations, the active damping control strategies should be carefully designed.
Eligibility Requirements:
Basic ability in C++ programming.
Basic knowledge of PSCAD/EMTDC, BPA.
Main Tasks:
Design the multi-rate interface model for the hybrid simulation method.
Software and hardware design for the hybrid simulation method.
