Component-Oriented Modeling Method for Real-Time Simulation of Power Systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a component-oriented modeling method for power system simulation, which optimizes the modeling process of the FPGA-based real-time digital simulator (FRTDS) to enhance its computational efficiency. In this paper, a component modeling method for various types of elements in the power system is presented, which makes the modeling process in FRTDS more user-friendly and highly scalable. By applying the concepts of combination and reconstruction of components to electrical components, the component-oriented modeling method becomes better suited for combined elements with fixed connection modes and elements that require online model replacement in the power system. Utilizing the characteristics of component-oriented modeling, the variable declaration structure and node elimination strategy in the simulation script are optimized, enabling the simulation script to fit better with the hardware structure of FRTDS. Additionally, a substation is simulated in FRTDS with a simulation step size of 50 µs, thus verifying the correctness of the component-oriented modeling method and its ability to improve the computational power of FRTDS.
