Real-time Simulation Study on Stability-improving Effects of Superconducting Generator in Power Systems by use of Digital Type Generator Model and Analog Type Power System Simulator

Abstract

Superconducting Generator (SCG) has many advantages such as small size, high generation efficiency, low impedance, and so on. An improved power system with many potential good properties may be obtained by introduction of SCG. In order to study the behaviors of SCG in power systems, a digital type SCG model for an existing analog type real-time power system simulator is developed in this work, which is suitable for real-time simulations when the generator constants and control systems are changed frequently. By use of the above-mentioned equipments, real-time simulation in cases of SCG with different generator constants and in case of SCG in multi-machine power system has been conducted. The real-time simulation results verify the effects of SCG on power system stability enhancement and show the influence of generator constants on its stability-improving effects.
