Abstract
The increasingly complex AC/DC network as a result of the massive integration of wind farms manifests the significance of a comprehensive transient study. In this work, the wind turbine (WT) and the DC grid are modeled in detail for the electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation to maximize its fidelity, whilst the AC grid transient stability is analyzed by dynamic simulation (DS). An interactive EMT-DS interface is thus introduced to enable their concurrency and subsequently form a co-simulation. The CPU which is dominant in system study faces a tremendous challenge in handling a great number of components albeit they exhibit homogeneity. The many-core graphics processing unit (GPU) featuring massive parallelism is therefore exploited and following the definition of an adaptive computing boundary, a flexible heterogeneous sequential-parallel processing architecture is proposed for efficient analysis of the wind-farm-integrated AC/DC grid. Topological reconfiguration of WTs is specifically carried out to reduce the numerical order whilst enhancing system homogeneity that enables the GPU to thoroughly utilize its peculiar property of single-instruction multiple-thread (SIMT) compute paradigm. Consequently, significant speedups can be attained by the proposed computing framework over pure CPU computation, while its accuracy is validated by the commercial EMT and dynamic security analysis tools PSCAD/EMTDC and DSATools, respectively.
