BACKGROUND:
• Smart grid enhances electrical performance
by combining traditional power system with:
Sensing and monitoring technology
Information technology
Communications
• Smart grid delivers reliable, economic, and
sustainable electricity
• Utility companies (PPL Electric Utilities) are
interested in smart grid system
REAL TIME DIGITAL SIMULATOR:
• Power system simulator
Solves electromagnetic transient
simulations in real time
• Typically used for:
High speed simulations
Closed-loop testing of protection
and control equipment
“What-if” analysis’s
• Calculates time varying waves found on
power lines and outputs in low voltages
Voltages are inputted into control
devices
Real high voltages not used
RSCAD:
Real Time Simulator Computer Aided
Design
RTDS:
Real Time Digital Simulator
NOVATECH SUBSTATION
DMS:
Distribution Management System
FAULT SIMULATION:
• Mimics an electrical fault on a
three phase power system
Line-to-line fault
Line-to-ground fault
• Proved working knowledge of
RSCAD software
CURRENT STATUS:
• Modeling air break device
• More complicated than fault
simulation
THE PROBLEM:
• New, unproven, technology is flooding the
smart grid market
• Testing technology by applying it to
traditional system is:
Expensive
Time consuming
Dangerous
Labor intensive
Results in unsatisfied customers
THE SOLUTION:
• Utilize power system simulator to test
smart grid technology
Inexpensive
Quick
Safe
Labor work not required
Doesn’t affect customers power
• Power system simulator must be
identical to PPL Electric Utilities system
OPERATORS MODULE:
REAL TIME SIMULATOR COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN:
LINE-TO-LINE FAULT:
FAULT
NEXT STEPS:
• Finish modeling air break device
Create operators module
• Test Distribution Management System
• Model additional control devices
