MATLAB SIMULINK WORKSHOP Building Basic Power System Using SimPowerSystems
What is power system? • An electrical network. • It comprises of: • Generators • Load • Transmission lines • Support devices, e.g. transformers and protection devices.
Assessing the network • It is imperative to continuously assess the power network for any inconsistencies. • Type of possible assessment done: • Load dispatch generator scheduling • Contingency analysis • Stability Studies • Stability studies for network expansion and improvements.
Methods of assessment • The standard approach done by utilities all over the world is by using a form of static load flow or power flow iteration. • Reason: • Simple • Fast • Accurate for the constraint given to the system
Methods of assessment • Disadvantages: • Inaccurate for dynamic scenarios
Static Load Flow • Objective: • To compute the P and Q flow in the branches of a system (these values may be an indicator of line loading due to load or generator constraints) • To compute the resultant bus voltage levels • To compute generation levels due to load or generator constraints.
Overview of Static Load Flow • Using a mathematical model for the system, compute the P and Q flow in each branch. • Well established methods: • Newton Raphson Iteration • Gauss-Sidel Iteration • Fast DeCoupled Newton Raphson Iteration
Using SimPowerSystems • The new name for the power system block set available in Matlab Simulink • The power system block set contains basic components which can also be customizable to suite application requirements.
Calling Power System blockset • Type powerlib at the MATLab prompt • At the powerlib window, select file-new-model, to setup a new circuit. • Using the powerlib library window, a simple circuit construction can be made.
Running basic calculations • Click on the run button • Clicking onto the scope may show the waveforms going in and coming out of the transmission line. • For practical example, please load file name psbmachines.mdl located in the matlab folder.
Advantages of SimPowerSystems • Advantageous for fast system prototyping, hence suitable for quick exploratory research related to power system components
Disadvantage of SimPowerSystems • As the system size increases, building the power system may be complicated hence may require computing overhead to compute basic power system iterations. • Hence a ‘program’ based 3rd party package is recommended, e.g. MatPower
