Special Issue on “Advances in the Simulation of Power System Transients”
The simulation of power system transients has become a major topic for power systems engineers. The computation of electromagnetic transients (EMTs) is a key aspect in the design, operation and post-mortem analysis of modern power systems. Modern power systems are increasingly complex and require advanced simulation methods and models. In some cases, the needs for simulation capabilities of EMTs increase faster than the capabilities of researchers to deliver new simulation methods. The integration of new technologies brings new challenges that have to be addressed with novel simulation methods and models.
Some of the current challenges in the accurate computation of power system transients are: 1) simulation of very large networks, 2) modeling of power electronic devices 3) integration of renewable energy sources, 4) real-time simulation of complex systems, and 5) application of frequency domain and time domain methods for simulating networks involving phenomena with a wide-range of frequencies.
In this special issue, we invite original and unpublished submissions that foster research, development and application activities in the above areas.
Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:
o Simulation of power system transients using EMT-type methods. o Load-flow and steady-state solutions for initialization of EMT-type simulations. o Off-line and real-time methods, parallel computations. o Hybrid simulation methods: phasor-domain and frequency domain methods combined with EMT-type methods, multi time-frame methods. o New simulation methods and tools. o Power electronics applications: modeling issues, numerical methods, multiconverter systems, large numbers of switching devices. o New time domain and frequency domain advances in modeling techniques for increased accuracy and performance. o Model order reduction of large networks and frequency dependent network equivalents for EMT analysis.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This special issue solicits original work that is not under consideration for publication in other venues. Two-page extended abstracts are required for the first round of reviews. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full papers in the second round. Authors should refer to
