Proposal and requirements for a real-time hybrid simulator of the distribution network

Abstract:

Liberalized markets and strong integration of distributed generation changes significantly the operation and control of distribution grids. Traditional network must be able to integrate new services such as electric vehicles, distributed generation, new loads as inductions cookers without major problems. These new grids should manage those new services intelligently, keeping power quality, safety margins and optimal costs. In order to probe the integration of new loads/services, it is necessary to simulate and analyze distribution system with those new characteristics, stability and different topologies. This paper presents a methodology to design a real time hybrid PHIL simulation using Matlab-Simulink® environment. Additionally, the authors suggest a methodology for integrating real information in the design.
