Guidelines for use of real-code in EMT models for HVDC, FACTs and inverter based generators in power systems analysis

Introduction

This Technical Brochure summarizes work done in a Joint Working Group between CIGRE B4.82 (Guidelines For Use Of Real-Code In EMT Models For HVDC, FACTS and Inverter Based Generators In Power Systems Analysis) and IEEE (Use of Real-Code in EMT Models for Power System Analysis, a working group under the Transient Analysis and Simulation task force). This group has over 100 members from IEEE and CIGRE, including users, simulation tool developers, manufacturers and others.

The objective is to create a standard methodology for interfacing of control and protection models to power system simulation tools, including “realcode” (ie the actual source code used in field hardware) and other generic or user-written models.

Scope and Methodology

This method resolves many common…
