A Novel Interfacing Technique for Distributed Hybrid Simulations Combining EMT and Transient Stability Models
With steady increase of power electronic devices and nonlinear dynamic loads in large scale AC/DC systems, the traditional hybrid simulation method, which incorporates these components into a single EMT subsystem and hence causes great difficulty for network partitioning and significant deterioration in simulation efficiency. To resolve these issues, a novel distributed hybrid simulation method is proposed in this paper. The key to realize this method is a distinct interfacing technique, which includes: i) a new approach based on the two-level Schur complement to update the interfaces by taking full consideration of the couplings between different EMT subsystems; and ii) a combined interaction protocol to further improve the efficiency while guaranteeing the simulation accuracy. The advantages of the proposed method in terms of both efficiency and accuracy have been verified by using it for the simulation study of an AC/DC hybrid system including a two-terminal VSC-HVDC and nonlinear dynamic loads.
