Benchmark High-Fidelity EMT Models for Power Grid with PV Plants

Conference ·
In recent times electromagnetic transient (EMT) modeling tools have been identified as one of the most important requirements in replicating, analyzing, and investigating the dynamics of the power grid with photovoltaic (PV) plants. However, there are no benchmark models for power grid with PVs to investigate emerging challenges with higher penetration of PVs (like trips and momentary cessations during faults from a region far away). To this end, in this paper, synthetic benchmark high-fidelity EMT dynamic models of power grid with large-scale PV plants are presented. The models are developed in PSCAD and PSCAD/Fortran. Simulation results for different use cases (events) and scenarios are presented.
