Assess performance and identify parameter settings using power system simulation and optimization
Power system simulation involves modeling power generation equipment, planning the integration of power plants onto the electric grid, and performing generator control system parameter estimation.
Critical power system simulation and optimization tasks include:
Apr 10, 2016 MATLAB is used for coding. MATLAB/Simulink is used for simple simulations. PSCAD, ETAP, EMTP-RV and DIgSILENT PowerFactory are specifically designed for Power System simulation. PowerWorld's wide range of products provide the tools needed by transmission planners, power marketers, system operators and trainers, educators, and anyone else desiring access to power system information and analysis in a user-friendly format.
- Simulating performance against grid code and ensuring production goals are met
- Automating control system parameter estimation to meet regulatory requirements
- Performing EMT simulation and harmonic analysis to identify and mitigate power quality issues
For details on a platform for performing these tasks, see MATLAB® and Simulink®.
