Variable-speed technologies have been adopted to improve the efficiency of electricity generation in wind farms. Among these technologies, doubly-fed induction generators have widely spread and their stability issues have been experienced and analysed. In recent years, permanent-magnet...

Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important aspects for arrester allocation, system reliability determination and insulation coordination studies. In this paper, Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm is used to estimate...

Real-time simulation allows rapid deployment and thorough testing of prototyped hardware in the automotive and aerospace industries. However, the simulation of power electronic circuits (PECs) in the context of PC-based simulations is challenging for several reasons, and imposes a limit in the...

An electrical power system usually includes machines with their regulators and controls linked through power lines, transformers, capacitor banks, reactors, and loads. In stability analysis, two distinct strategies are possible for solving the differential equations and network equations...

This paper deals with the methods of three-dimensional fixed-point wind speed real-time simulation modelled in large band, in order to use them in test rigs for experimental investigation of the wind energy conversion systems. The medium- and long-term components of the non-stationary wind speed...

This paper presents a high performance real-time simulator for power electronic systems applications and primarily intended for controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) testing. The novelty of the proposed simulator resides in the massively parallel hardware architecture that efficiently exploits...
