An Electromagnetic Transient and Three-Phase Phasor Co-Simulation Platform for Studying Distribution System Transients with High Pentration of DERs
Inverter vendors usually have electro-magnetic transient (EMT) models of distributed energy resources (DERs) for validation purposes and these types of models are usually black-boxed considering intellectual property (IP) protection. Limited by small simulation time step for the entire power system network, studying the system-level responses of DERs in EMT simulators is more time-consuming as the network size increases. Meanwhile, vendors usually do not have inverter models that can be used in three-phase phasor-domain simulators. This paper proposes a platform that can dynamically co-simulate the EMT inverter models and three-phase phasor-domain distribution networks considering high penetration of inverter-based DERs. This platform is very useful for evaluating the impacts of vendor-provided black-box DER model on distribution system dynamics. The co-simulation platform is validated against the full EMT model using a simple two-inverter test system and tested using IEEE 34-node test feeder.
