Digital/analog hybrid simulation platform of distributed power flow controller based on ADPSS and dSPACE

Abstract

Distributed power flow controller, which is among the most powerful distributed flexible transmission equipments, is still only in the stage of the theoretical research and digital simulation. In order to promote the engineering demonstration of a distributed power flow controller, it is urgent to establish a digital/analog simulation platform that supports closed-loop real-time simulation of a distributed power flow controller. In this paper, the electromagnetic transient model of a distributed power flow controller is established on ADPSS (advanced digital power system simulator). The rapid control prototype realized by dSPACE is connected to ADPSS to form a digital/analog simulation platform for a distributed power flow controller. Through a voltage control and power flow control simulation of the test system with a distributed power flow controller, the correctness and effectiveness of the constructed simulation platform are verified, which provides a new way for the verification of the new theory of a distributed power flow controller.
