Real Time Simulations

This paper presents the development of an accelerated real-time cosimulation and testing platform, especially for long-term simulations of power systems. The platform is planned to be utilized in the development and testing of active network management functions for microgrids and smart grids. Long-term simulations are needed in order to study, for example, the potential weekly, monthly, or yearly usage of distribution-network-connected distributed energy resources for different technical flexibility services. In order to test new algorithms in long-term study cases, real-time simulations or hardware-in-the-loop tests should be accelerated. This paper analyzes the possibilities and challenges of accelerated long-term simulations in studying the potential use of a large-scale wind turbine for reactive power flow control between distribution system operator (DSO) and transmission system operator (TSO) networks. To this end, the reactive power flow control is studied for different voltage levels (HV and MV) in the Sundom Smart Grid in Vaasa, Finland. The control of reactive power flow between HV and MV networks is realized with a reactive power window control algorithm for a 3.6 MW MV-network-connected wind turbine with a full-scale power converter. The behaviour of the reactive power controller during long-term simulations is studied by offline and real-time simulations. Moreover, the real-time simulations are performed with both software-in-the-loop and controller-hardware-in-the-loop.

This paper introduces a design of active trailer steering system (ATS) for multi-trailer articulated vehicles (MTAHVs) using driver-software-in-the-loop (DSIL) real-time simulations. A yaw-plane MTAHV model is developed to derive an ATS controller. Then, the real-time versions of the controller and MTAHV models are constructed in LabVIEW and TruckSim, respecitvely. With the integration of these models, the real-time simulations are conducted with a vehicle simulator. The simulations indicate that the controller can effectively improve the MTAHV’s directional performance under the specified test maneuvers.

Modelling Approach

Variable Speed Hydro-Electric Plant (VS-HEP) equipped with power electronics has been increasingly introduced into the hydraulic context. This paper is targeting a VS-HEP Power Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) real-time simulation system, which is dedicated to different hydraulic operation schemes tests and control laws validation. Then, a proper hydraulic model will be the key factor for building an efficient PHIL real-time simulation system. This work introduces a practical and generalised modelling hydraulic modelling approach, which is based on ‘Hill Charts’ measurements provided by industrial manufacturers. The hydraulic static model is analytically obtained by using mathematical optimization routines. In addition, the nonlinear dynamic model of the guide vane actuator is introduced in order to evaluate the effects of the induced dynamics on the electric control performances. Moreover, the reduced-scale models adapted to different laboratory conditions can be established by applying scaling laws. The suggested modelling approach enables the features of decent accuracy, light computational complexity, high flexibility and wide applications for their implementations on PHIL real-time simulations. Finally, a grid-connected energy conversion chain of bulb hydraulic turbine associated with a permanent magnet synchronous generator is chosen as an example for PHIL design and performance assessment.
