Abstract:
A control system for the control of HVDC, SVC and other FACTS devices can be developed, tested and debugged using an electromagnetic transients simulation program. The thesis presents a procedure for the direct conversion of this developed emtp-type model into the control language for a real world implementation. The procedure is validated by comparing the simulated emtp-type output with that from the real-world control system automatically derived from this code. The procedure has been implemented on the PSCAD/EMTDC emtp-type program and produces control software that can be loaded on to the SIMADYN-D control system. The benefits of this capability are to achieve faster design of complex controls with greater accuracy and reduced engineering costs.
